Maceio
 Formed in the mid 17th century, Maceio is the capital of the Northeastern state of Alagoas and birthplace of impeached Brazilian president Fernando Collar. The city is surrounded by clear blue waters and natural beauty, wedged between the ocean and the Mandau and Manguaba lakes. Maceio is modern and relaxed city with an array of beautiful white sandy beaches, lined with palm trees, and some historical areas in the commercial center. The city can boast all-year round sunshine with tropical temperatures averaging 28 degrees Celsius. Maceio, which currently has over 800,000 inhabitants, was built around the local sugar cane industry, which is still an important part of the local economy, along with the growing tourism industry. A good time to visit is in mid-December when the city holds its own local carnival event called Maceiofest and between Christmas and January 6, when the city holds its Reisado religious festival. The Maceio Jazz Festival, which began in 1995, is normally held in mid-November and is also well worth a visit by music lovers. Praia da Pajucara is one of the city's most famous beaches, where you can catch a boat out to the coral rife and 'natural swimming pool', 2km out from the coast. The pool is so popular that it even has a floating bar and public pay phones.
