Flavours of the Costa dos Corais

Travelling to Alagoas is not only about beaches and crystal-clear water: it is opening up to a universe of fresh, colourful, authentic flavours.

Travelling to Alagoas is not only about discovering paradise beaches and crystal-clear water. It is also about opening up to a universe of flavours that reflect the essence of Brazil's Northeast: fresh, colourful, authentic. Every dish, every fruit and every sip tells a story about the land, the people and the culture that lives here.

Fruit that tastes of sun

The day begins with the natural sweetness of cashew fruit, the vibrant tang of passion fruit or the freshness of pineapple. Fruit that seems to have soaked up the heat of the sun and turns into juices, desserts or the star ingredient of the most Brazilian of drinks: the caipirinha.

The tropical caipirinha

On the Costa dos Corais, the caipirinha takes on unique shades. Made with local fruit, each version has its own character: cashew, gently sweet with an exotic touch; passion fruit, refreshing and aromatic; pineapple, balancing sweetness and freshness. More than a cocktail, it is a ritual: a toast to the sea, the breeze and the unhurried rhythm of tropical life.

Tapioca: tradition in every bite

Tapioca, made from cassava starch, is a symbol of Northeastern cooking. Versatile and light, it can be filled with cheese, coconut, fruit or local fish. It is the perfect blend of simplicity and flavour, a dish that connects travellers with the authenticity of the region.

Fish and seafood

Living next to the sea means fresh dishes full of identity. Fish, lobster and shrimp are prepared with a homely, tropical touch. Flavours that need no artifice, because nature makes them unforgettable on its own.
