Touros, Coastal municipality in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.
Located at the northeastern corner of Brazil, Touros extends along the Atlantic coast with white sand beaches and coral reef formations.
The municipality of Touros was established on March 27, 1835, following a period when agricultural workers migrated there during the 1790s drought.
The territory contains 27 districts including Arribão and Lagoa do Sal, each maintaining distinct fishing and agricultural traditions.
The northernmost section of BR-101 highway connects Touros to other regions, with the Farol do Calcanhar lighthouse serving as navigation reference point.
