COLORFUL BRAZIL: Last Farewell at Boa Viagem Beach, Recife (PE)

Last Farewell at Praia de Boa Viagem , RECIFE (PE)

Praia de Boa Viagem (Boa Viagem Beach) is a must-visit in Recife. As with many popular urban beaches, Boa Viagem Beach is flanked by tall buildings and a long, wide boulevard. Many bars and restaurants are located along  the beach. An interesting local market offers you a variety of local dishes, souvenirs, and handicraft. The 7 km beach is protected by a natural barrier of reefs. Hence, the name of the city of Recife (Reef). At low tide, one may enjoy the so-called piscinas naturais, the natural pools. It was a very sunny and warm day in January, when I visited Boa Viagem.  The beach was crowded with local people and tourists. A great number of them enjoyed themselves in the water. And suddenly, I noticed this boiling pan. A pan that contained a lobster, that had met its awful fate to become a delicious meal for tourists. At first, I was convinced that the poor creature was about to escape. But at a closer look, I noticed that there was no way to escape. Poor creature! Waving with its impressive claw, his last farewell to the cruel world….

The original picture was taken in January 2008.
