I’ll tell you a secret that few know I think only the Recife people know Before this I want to tell you a little about my path I’ve been watching the city grow for a long time, so listen carefully I come from far away and as soon as I arrive I already get a culture bath It doesn’t matter if it’s Francisco or Ricardo it’s all Brennand with art in part Are you curious? Take a look at these sites

Following my route I arrive in Várzea
That is full of culture and friendship
Has lyric block, maracatu, boizinho
A municipal art school makes its way
I’m going on my way until I get to know the Caiara
A mega park with fields and several leisure areas
There is an athletics track that will make you run
And a beautiful pier for you to know me
Follow the path and don’t hurry, there are more parks to visit
Take a look on your right it is Santana Ariano Suassuna Park, nice to meet you
It is so nice that even a pedestrian bridge the people built
It has field and playground, however, the best you will still see
Anna Laura Park is 100% accessible, you can go to get to know
Follow the flow and get ready to tell
There are so many car bridges you won’t believe
The first is Do Vitem which is next to “Lá Greca”
The “Murillo Lá Greca” is one of the museums in Recife
That you have to go visit
Further a little beat ahead before da Torre Bridge
There is a secret garden, in fact, it is the Jardim do Baoba
It has a lot of children running back and forth
All this thanks to the majestic and ancient Baobab
Passing two more bridges I reach the Lion’s Lair
Who has screamed many times “we´re the champion”
Won Copa do Nordeste, Brasil and Brasileirão
But in Recife he faces two rivals in Breton sport

Taking left he arrived in Coque, a very poor neighborhood
But don’t cry! There has a lot of dignity
For you who don’t know there are sports, culture and education
They even created the Museu da Beira Linha do Coque, which es very beautiful
Keeping up I will get to downtown
Right after three more bridges, there is the old detention house
But today you can smile because it is an artisan’s place
Casa da Cultura is an art space for tourists and citizens

I’ll follow my route
With great findings
There’s the Iron Bridge it is all English
And Duarte Coelho is a beauty
Before finding the Beberibe River there is another crossing
The Princesa Isabel Bridge takes you to a magical place: the Santa Isabel theatre
Bypassing the Campo das Princesas Palace
From a distance I see the Buarque de Macedo Bridge
Following the Beberibe River we pass the Mauricio de Nassau Bridge
At the very end there was no money for the bridge to finish so the Count sent word
Get ready people, with the toll I will make the ox fly.
Using straw, ropes and pulleys he made the ox fly across the river.
Look at the last bridge, did you count them or did you get lost sailing?
The Giratória Bridge was rotating for the boat to cross
Arrived at customs to be able to disembark
We turned left to reach the Zero Mark
Remember the secret that I would tell you
The time has come to confide
Recifense is never tired of declaiming
In fact, this whole path is a preparation to create the SEA
So, my friend, don´t waste your time
Enter visit.recife to prepare your trip
It can be by baiteira, catamaran just arrive
at the sea “Marco Zero”.
