Tabira, Municipality in Pernambuco, Brazil.
Description
Tabira is a municipality in the Sertão Pernambucano region situated at around 600 meters elevation, spreading across semi-arid land with natural caatinga vegetation. The town lies more than 400 kilometers from the state capital and maintains connections to neighboring cities through regular bus routes.
History
The settlement began in 1865 as a farm where the owner established a market for residents and donated land for urban growth. After going by several different names over the decades, the place received its current name Tabira in 1939.
Culture
The central Church of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, inaugurated through a solemn mass in 1883, stands as the primary religious structure built by local residents.
Practical
Visitors should know that local infrastructure is rural in character and buses provide the main connections to other places. The best time to visit is during or just after the rainy season, when the landscape appears greener.
Did you know?
The place originally had completely different names such as Madeira, Toco do Gonçalo, and Espírito Santo before finally becoming Tabira. These name changes reflect the changing history of settlement and administration in the region.
