Caucaia

 
Wikipedia: Caucaia
 

Caucaia is a Brazilian city in the state of Ceará of about 300,000 inhabitants. Caucaia sits right next to the capital city of Fortaleza and is also home to a state garden park. There is a market in the center of the town with lots of fish, exotic fruits, and souvenirs for the many tourists that go there.[citation needed] Caucaia can be reached by the train that departs from the center of the city by the Feiras in downtown. Buses also regularly depart to and from the city that can be accessed from various Rodoviarias (Bus Stations).

At the center of the city sits a Church. Masses are held throughout the week and many of the local people walk around the square at night. There are many stalls with cheap "bon bons" (little candies) and other treats. Similar to most other cities in Brazil, Caucaia has a rich[citation needed] Catholic heritage with many other demoniations as well. A Mormon church is right down the street from the center of town. There are many unlighted areas to the south and tourists should stay in the center of town at night.[citation needed] Even the famous beaches to the north should be avoided when dark settles in.
