Aracaju
Aracaju, the coastal capital of Brazil's Sergipe state, sits where the Sergipe and Poxim rivers meet the Atlantic, giving the city a waterfront character that shapes its centre. Founded as a planned port city in 1855, it has a walkable downtown with a dense café and restaurant scene. The city's name derives from the Tupi-Guarani expression for "cashew of parrots," and its Metropolitan Cathedral Nossa Senhora da Conceição serves as the seat of the local Roman Catholic archdiocese.
