Serra Talhada means the chopped hill because of the little mountain that is situated right next to town.
The mountain looks like it has had it´s top chopped off and therfor you have the name.
The copped hill makes gives serra talhada a beautiful backdrop that makes the town seem even prettier than it is.

The town museum in Serra Talhada gives a good run down on the local history and put´s a lot of focus on Lampiao.
It´s a very interesting little museum that i really enjoyed visiting.
Admission to the place is free.

Dormitorio Beta.: Cheap and simple accomodation by the bus station.
cachaseiro Says: This place is a very simple place right by the bus station that is fine if you don´t mind primitive conditions.The rooms are tiny and fitted just with a bed and nothing else.There is a communual shower in the hallway.To me these kinda places are fine for a few nights, but...
Hotel cactus.: The most centrally located hotel.
cachaseiro Says: I stayed a few nights at the hotel cactus.I found the place to be very friendly and the rooms were quite fine with attached bathroon and aircondition.Surely no luxury hotel, but just what i was looking for.The hotel is overlooking the main square, so you have a nice view...

I went a lot to the little fast food place called mao na boca.
Mainly because the service was good and because they had very good fruit juices.
Their food section consists mainly of burgers.
A thing the brazilians are world champions in making and then they have all these great chilled fruit juices.
The location right on the main square makes it very convienient aswell.
Favorite Dish: Juice, juice and more juice.

Favorite thing: Every year there is a big forro festival that travels around the state of Pernambuco.
It also stops at Serra Talhada and they have quite a big area that stands vacant the rest of the year and only waits for that annual festival.
By the way, forro is the most popular dance in North East Brazil.
Unfortunately i was not there during the time of year when it is on, but i was told it´s certainly worth travelling for.

Favorite thing: Every year, usually in april, there is a big motorbike meeting in Serra Talhada where bikers from all over North East Brazil meet up and admire each others motorbikes while listning to music and sipping beer.
I was lucky to come the weekend where it was on and it was surely a lot of fun.
Fondest memory: There were some damn nice motorbikes, but they were beaten by the even nice biker girls :O).

Serra Talhada is known for being the town where the famous brazilian outlaw Lampiao grew up. I went there mainly for that reason as i have interest in the history of Brazil in general and the north......
