OVERVIEW

Trancoso is a small town on Brazil’s north eastern coast, with a central grassy square, residential neighbourhoods and beaches below forested cliffs. Tourism and second homes now shape much of the local economy. The relationship between colourful village greens, cliff backed beaches and polished coastal retreats around a historic settlement with strong local identity and town gives the wider destination a distinctive structure beyond its principal visitor area.

Food, beach time and evening walks provide the main experiences, while nearby villages and quiet roads reveal a broader coastal landscape, while prices rise sharply during holiday periods. Spending time with both colourful village greens and cliff backed beaches and polished coastal retreats around a historic settlement with strong local identity reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known sights.
