Alhandra

Alhandra is a municipality in Paraíba state in northeastern Brazil, spreading across the Mata Paraibana region. It sits at about 89 meters above sea level and combines rural landscapes with smaller urban centers.

Alhandra became an independent municipality in 1959, marking a major shift in how the region was administered within Paraíba state. This change allowed the area to develop its own local institutions and services.

The town carries northeastern Brazilian traditions in its daily customs, from local festivals to regional craft practices. The way people use public spaces and gather together reflects the warm culture that shapes everyday life in Paraíba.

The town operates on Brasília time and provides essential services to residents and visitors. The best time to explore is during the drier months, when streets are easier to walk through.

Alhandra's location in the Mata Paraibana mesoregion gives it a bridge-like role between different regional centers. This strategic position has shaped how the town developed and its connections to surrounding areas.
