travelers with a guide, or fluent in portuguese, will appreciate the local bars as true gems for an authentic neighborhood experience in the form of fresh fish, often fried, served with ice-cold beer - rustic and very simple they provide a precious insight into the lives of the locals. 

also in the neighborhood is the igreja de nossa senhora da conceição de jurujuba, a small church dating back to 1629 - with an inscription on its door reading 'charitas' (charity), source of the name of the area that over the years was only left to indicate the nearby neighborhood and beach of charitas.
