Introduction
The sound of the triangle, accordion, and zabumba fills the streets of northeastern cities in June. The rhythm of the quadrilhas, traditional arrasta-pés, and the colourful flags and fireworks complete the June scene in this region of Brazil. From Bahia to Maranhão, there are festivities for all tastes: from folkloric manifestations to mega-events with famous artists. In each city, a different charm. The Pernambucan Caruaru and the Paraiban Campina Grande compete every year for the title of the largest São João in the world. To attract tourists, the former bets on typical foods and giant bonfires, while the latter celebrates the romance of Valentine's Day with a collective wedding and entertains revelers on a lively forró train. Choose which city has your heart with Royalty Viagens.
