ORIGIN OF PORTO DE GALINHAS
The colonization of Ipojuca began in 1560, after the expulsion of the Caetés indigenous people and other tribes from the southern coast of Pernambuco.
From that moment on, settlers moved to Ipojuca due to the region’s fertile lands rich in massapê (clayey soil, generally black and of excellent quality for sugarcane cultivation). This led to a rapid increase in the construction of mills or small production units in the region.
The Dutch also took advantage of the situation by invading Pernambuco, an area that already had a number of established mills. However, under the leadership of Captain of the Sea Amador de Araújo, the Dutch were defeated on July 23, 1645.
With two natural ports, Suape and Porto de Galinhas, in addition to the largest and best-equipped massapê plantations in the Northeast, Ipojuca quickly gained fame as one of the most important regions to emerge within the colonial system. As a result, thanks to its boundaries and natural advantages, Porto de Galinhas became one of the most important ports.
Given all these conditions, Pernambuco became a major sugar producer and, for many years, was responsible for more than half of Brazil’s exports. This reputation led the region to be known as “Porto Rico,” before it received the name we know today.
To carry out all this work, labor was commonly brought from Africa, and unfortunately, even after the abolition of slavery, this system did not stop, giving rise to a circuit of illegal slave trafficking. In this way, enslaved people were brought hidden inside the boats that carried Guinea fowl (one of the favorite dishes of the region’s aristocracy).
At that time, the saying “There are new chickens in the port” meant that a new shipment of enslaved people had arrived. Because of this, Porto Rico came to be called “Porto de Galinhas” (sometimes also known as “Porto de Angola”).
The colonization of Ipojuca began in 1560.
• The Dutch invaded Pernambuco on July 17, 1645.
• The Dutch were defeated on July 23, 1645.
• Ipojuca was established on November 12, 1895.
• One of the main historic sites, the Convent of Santo Antônio, was founded in 1606 and was declared a national heritage site in 1937.
• In 2005, Petrobras announced the construction of a fuel refinery in Ipojuca, due to the excellent facilities offered by the port of Suape. This marked the beginning of the construction of what became one of the most important industries in the region. At present, due to economic and political issues, the port is not as powerful as it once was.
> 4 TIPS TO HELP YOU CHOOSE THE IDEAL PROPERTY TO BUY: >
Do not think only about your current marital status. Properties are very durable. Therefore, you need to make your choice based not only on today, but also on your life plans. You can find houses and apartments of various sizes, and this will also influence the number of bedrooms the property has. If you intend to live alone, assess whether the property you are about to purchase will meet your needs for at least the medium term. A one-bedroom apartment, for example, can accommodate a future spouse and even a baby in a crib. But if your plans to start a family are closer to reality, it may be ideal to consider properties with 2 or even 3 bedrooms. This way, you ensure a home that can accommodate your life plans.
> Location is a relevant factor. Check whether the properties you are looking at are well located. This does not mean being in a central area, but rather having good infrastructure nearby to meet everyday and unexpected needs. Get to know the neighborhood: check whether there are pharmacies, bakeries, supermarkets, healthcare centers, schools, as well as good public transportation coverage. This will be necessary and, in the end, can save you a great deal of effort.
> Assess whether the “utilities” meet your needs Number of bathrooms, parking spaces, elevator, accessibility, built-in closets… Each has its own usefulness depending on your needs, and therefore must be taken into consideration. For those who own cars or motorcycles, not having a parking space can generate a high monthly cost that, in the end, will be much more expensive than investing a little more in these items, for example. The same applies if an apartment does not have a service area that accommodates a washing machine. With the rush of everyday life, it is not always possible to wash clothes by hand, and the lack of space for the washer can lead to recurring laundry expenses that would make it impossible to cover all costs. Therefore, pay attention to your needs, calculate everything carefully, and make a more aligned and feasible choice.
> Check whether your dream fits your financial reality. You may dream of having a larger apartment, with a service area, spacious bedrooms, and everything else. However, before you start looking, be realistic: assess your financial possibilities. Even with a good down payment using FGTS funds, financing can be expensive due to interest rates, and no one knows what tomorrow holds. Therefore, do not aim higher than you can manage. Evaluate the available budget, run financing simulations if necessary, and only then begin your property search. This way, you can adapt your dream to your reality and avoid committing to something you will not be able to fulfill. By following these tips, you will certainly make a more advantageous deal. So be sure to consider these items!
