The Venice of Brazil

During For many years I have been traveling across the Brazil and discovering different and amazing places. But there is one very special place for me: my home town. With its rivers, bridges and the warm waters of the Ocean Atlantic in front of it, forming one beautiful and unforgettable scene, Recife is known as The Venice of Brazil. The Capital of Pernambuco´s State is one of the most important cities of Brazil and has established itself as an important travel destination for both tourism and business. It is also the wealthiest metropolis in the Brazilian Northeast and one of the host cities of the World Cup. That is why Recife has received a considerable financial support in the last years (*isso não é errado, mas geralmente dizemos "in recent years"). But what does this amazing city has have to offer to its visitors? Besides others things, one delicious culinary cuisine, beautiful beaches, incredible and original cultural manifestations, like maracatu, frevo and the newest musical genre called manguebeat that was born in 1992 and mixes regional elements with rock, funk, rap and electronic music. Everybody has his/her favorite place and for me Recife is this place.

Ótimo texto, parabéns! Se alguma correção não seja clara, pode perguntar e vou tentar explicar.

Só fui uma vez no Recife e gostei muito. Vi um ensaio de maracatu nas ruas do centro histórico, foi muito bacana. O mar também era brilhante, mas não me atrevi entrar por causa das placas avisando sobre os tubarões!! É realmente tão perigoso assim?
