Natal y sus alrededores cuenta con un número considerable de playas hermosas que se pueden explorar en pocos días. La ciudad de Natal, capital del estado Río Grande do Norte es una ciudad para relajarse, donde la actividad más importante es jugar en las olas de agua caliente y transparente de la playa llamada Ponta Negra, la mejor de la costa urbana.

Son grandes productores de castañas de cajú (de aquí proviene originalmente esta fruta), las cuales puedes encontrar en grandes sacos distribuidos por toda la ciudad. Algo interesante para nosotros ya que al ser un producto caro, no solemos encontrarlo en esas cantidades :)
They are major producers of cashew nuts ( originally from cashew fruit), which you can find in big bags distributed throughout the city. Something interesting to us because, being an expensive product, we do not often find it in those quantities :)
Aunque hay una buena variedad de comidas típicas y muchos frutos de mar, lo más económico para comer es el tradicional almuerzo brasilero donde elijes el tipo de carne (pollo, etc) y te la sirven con arroz, feijão (porotos/habas) ensalada y papas o macaxeira (mandioca). Llega a ser aún más económico que un sándwich (y es mejor, claro)
Although there is a good variety of local foods and many seafood, the most economical is the traditional Brazilian lunch where you choose the type of meat (chicken, etc.) and it will be served with rice, feijão (beans) salad and potatoes or macaxeira (mandioca/manioc root). It becomes even more economical than a sandwich (and it is better, of course)
Las agencias de viajes ofrecen paseos a las playas en buggy o van. Si bien éstas se pueden visitar en transporte público, el sistema es bastante lento (aunque no imposible). Otra opción es alquilar un auto, lo cual resulta ser bastante barato (es importante saber que las rutas brasileras son un poco peligrosas a causa de la audacia de sus conductores)
Travel agencies offer tours to the beaches by buggy or van. While they can be visited by public transport, the system is quite slow (although not impossible). Another option is to rent a car, which turns out to be pretty cheap (it is important to know that Brazilian routes are a bit dangerous because of the audacity of their drivers)
Aunque nuestra imaginación viajera nos hace creer que al norte de Brasil TODAS las playas deben ser paradisíacas, con agua muy transparente y palmeras al viento, la verdad es que no todas son tan hermosas (si bien la mayoría lo son) y es interesante recorrerlas una por una para formar nuestra propia opinión clasificadora :) He aquí la mía:
Our "traveling imagination" can makes us to believe that in northern Brazil ALL beaches must be paradisiacal with very clear water and palm trees in the wind, the truth is that not all are so beautiful (although most are) and it is interesting to visit them for getting our own opinion :) Here's mine:
Ponta Negra, tiene agua cristalina de un verde muy claro, con olas. Es una de las mejores.
Ponta Negra, has a crystal transparent water in a bright light green colour, with waves. It is one of the best.
Jenipabú, tiene un paisaje espectacular con dunas y palmeras, pero el agua no es tan transparente.
Genipabu, has a spectacular landscape with dunes and palm trees, but the water is not as transparent.
¡Parejas de enamorados la eligen para sus fotos!
Lovers choose it for their wedding photos!
Es una playa especial para recorrer caminando o en buggy.

Pitanguí, tiene una extensión considerable, con aguas tranquilas.

Jacumá, además de tener un agua sumamente transparente (¡y que caliente!) sin olas, con arenas blancas y palmeras, prácticamente vacía a no ser por un grupito de turistas cada tanto, es el símbolo de lo paradisíaco. Seguramente esto es lo que vieron los primeros exploradores.
Jacumá, besides having a very transparent (and warm!) water without waves, white sand and palm trees, virtually empty except for a handful of tourists, is the symbol of paradise. Surely this is what the early explorers met.
