Hi everybody
Wolfgang, you may be right about the Lagoa Banana, but it's no surprise. The area has poor communications and a lot of fairly isolated property - ideal for the opportunist robber at night.
Don't condemn the whole Cumbuco area. The beachfront is as safe as it's possible to be in Brazil, with good communications and properties in condominiums where constant occupation makes it more difficult for the criminally-minded. Cumbuco is the best tourist resort within very easy reach of Fortaleza's interniational airport
This is Brazil. Where the very poor are forced into confrontation with the very rich (that's us foreign visitors) there will be crime. The secret is to take that on board and be sensible. No different from some inner cities in the UK, really.
