Maceió - Pajuçara Beach - Beach Shack Lopana

This "barraca", kind of beach shack, is one of many along the shore of Pajuçara Beach. In my opinion, the best. It is right on the beach, it is lively, people pass by with children, with their dogs, exercising at night. Two things make it special: good live music ( there was a very good jazz band playing when we were there) and the food.

 LOPANA

Caldinho de sururu

 I asked for "caldinho the sururu". Sururu is a small shellfish that lives in the surrounding mangrove areas of Maceió. It was very tasty.

Lopana, Maceió

 The shrimps were especially delicious. The dough had cheese in it. 

A small smoking area on the sidewalk.

Maceió

This is where you are, Pajuçara.

 Also here, when the tide is low (check at the hotel), you can swim in the pools 2,5 km from the beach.

Jangadas in Maceió

 The famous "jangadas" will take you there.

Mercado de Artesanato em Maceió

 There is also a Mercado de Artesanato. As in many other places in this town, watch out for your purse!

Capim dourado

 This Mercado used to be better. If you want to buy the typical handmade lace from Alagoas (filé) go to the Bairro das Rendeiras, on the way to Praia do Gunga and Barra de São Miguel.
