Fortaleza is one of the oldest settlements in Brazil; it was actually "discovered" by the Spaniards but was not recognized as a Spanish discovery under the 1494 treaty that effectively divided the non-European world between Spain and Portugal. Today it is one of the most important cities in Northeastern Brazil. Its modest-sized port is primarily used for the export of bulk commodities (including sugar cane). In recent years, it's increasingly being used as a cruise ship port of call, as you'll see in this drone video by DCIMagens.
