Guarabira

Guarabira is a municipality in northeastern Brazil characterized by mixed residential and commercial zones. The town has a central district with government buildings, local services, and the Cathedral as its focal point.

Founded officially in 1837, Guarabira grew into a regional administrative center. Its establishment as a municipality helped shape the governance structure of Paraíba state.

Street life in Guarabira centers on the main square and surrounding markets where locals gather daily. The Cathedral of Nossa Senhora da Luz anchors the town's social and religious rhythm.

The town center is easy to navigate on foot with shops and services spread throughout the district. Morning hours offer the best opportunity to experience local markets and daily street activity.

Guarabira is known for a significant tire manufacturing industry that became established here decades ago. This industrial focus remains surprising to many visitors unfamiliar with the town's economic base.
