In Fortaleza, to be more exact in Avenida Beira Mar, you can find lots and lots of beautiful things made by hand by local artists. You can find shoes, clothes, jewelry, hats, decorations and much more, all made by hand. It is very special because the local people actually take their time and put their best into each of their items... It is also, how they earn their livings.
You have to defenetly buy the little crafts and things that they sell in the "Feirinha"
Well... It is pretty cheap actually, very very cheap. Specially if your money is the american Dollar. $1.00 = R$2.85 (approx). If you are going to Brazil, your money is probably worth a lot more!! Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftDirections: Avenida Beira Mar by Nautico Atletico Cearense Club

A little north from the toursit centre and the colonial station is an excellent area for experiencing the real shopping experience of Fortaleza. Roads are narrow, and packed packed packed with shops. If you want a real taste of how local people live then avoid the Mercado Central and go to this area where you will see hundred or even thousands of people engaged in their daily commerce. A real treat
As a tourist avoid electrical good. This is not because of quality but only if you have a problem then it is a long way to bring them back so better to buy this sort of stuff at home. Remember that whilst Brazil is cheaper than Europe and North America, you do get what you pay for in relative terms. If you want a dirt cheap pair of shoes they will last you a few weeks, otherwise spend more money and get better quality Theme: Other

Fortaleza’s new Central Market is a modern building bringing many stands, drugstore, restaurants and snack bars. The typical handicraft is the great attraction.
Open from Mondays through Fridays, from 8am to 6:30pm, and on Saturdays up to 4pm. Sometimes on Sundays, up to noon. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

This is a high shopping centre with many top quality stores that you will find in all major cities. The food hall offers good quality at local prices, although fro breakfast I prefer the little cafe area in the Continente Hipermarket. A good half day out to get round enough of this place to fill your suitcase. Little pricey in some shops so be selective.
For those needing to contact home there is one of the few internet cafes outside of major hotels located just outside the contienente hipermarket
Lots of everything !

Shopping malls full of jewellery, sunglasses and sandals and not much else. The prices were similar to those in Europe and US.
I didn't find anything worth buying. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

This is one of the biggest Malls in Fortaleza, and one of the nicest ones too. It is also located in a very nice area of the city, Aldeota. It is close to most of the hotels so if you are staying at a hotel on Beira mar it is just up the street (R$5.00 by taxi or R$1.50 by bus) if you are staying at Praia do Futuro it is just down Ave. Santos Dumont. Either way when you get to the big turn about with the statue in the middle you are there.
There is every kind of shop that you can think of and every kind of food available in the food court. There are game places, a movie theater and it is all in the comfort of Air Conditioning.
This mall offers a wide variety of commercially produced items, it is not a craft mall or anything like that if that is what your looking for check out my other shopping tips. This mall is going to have stuff at an average mall price, you probably are not going to find any great deals but prices will be clearly marked and they will not ask for more from Gringos.
What are you buying? It all depends on what your buying. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Aldeota

 The lovely hammock that was my
bed by swesn
But the best place to buy them is Fortaleza - the birthplace of hammocks.
If you are heading that way and you get really tempted by the lovely designs, hold onto to your desires until you get to Fortaleza and even then, get it from Mercado Central (Central Market).
This is a huge local market with several stories selling everything. Make your way around the Central Market and hunt for the best designs and bargain for the best prices. There are also many stores in the surrounding area near the Central Market that sell hammocks for really fair prices.
Earlier on in my trip, everyone told me I could get a hammock for R30 (less than US$14), more or less... which was quite a good price. But here, I managed to buy one (albeit, a simple one for the riverboat ride down the Amazon) for R15 (US$7) and I later saw the same ones priced at R11 (US$5) outside the Central Market.
