La proprietà — Hotel Pousada Des Basques
Hotel Pousada Des Basques is a low-rise three-star in the beachfront neighbourhood of Pajuçara, with clean, simple rooms and a small pool. The vibe is functional and relaxed rather than stylish — the kind of place where you pop in after a day on the sand and find a cold beer waiting. It suits budget-conscious travellers and couples who want a safe, central base rather than resort amenities. Standing in the check-in area, you smell sea salt and fried snacks from the ground-floor café.
Cronache di Maceio
Maceió was founded in 1815 around a sugarcane port and mill complex, then became state capital of Alagoas in 1839. Its centre mixes Portuguese colonial and early-20th-century Art Deco buildings, many with cerâmica-style tile facades. The 1970s tourism boom shifted development east to the Jatiúca and Pajuçara beach strips, creating the city’s modern, mid-rise coastal profile. Today Maceió is known for its natural pools offshore, strong folk culture and a laid-back pace that contrasts with brasher capitals.
