João Pessoa, Coastal capital city in Paraíba, Brazil.
João Pessoa extends along the Atlantic coast with 30 kilometers of beaches, featuring white sand shores bordered by coconut palm groves and coastal cliffs.
The city, established in 1585 through an agreement between Portuguese settlers and Tabajara indigenous people, stands as Brazil's third oldest urban center.
The Espaço Cultural José Lins do Rego houses multiple museums, theaters, and galleries that display regional art and host performances throughout the year.
The Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport connects the city with major Brazilian destinations, while an urban train system serves 10,100 daily passengers.
