Carnival Wednesday (after Shrove Tuesday) in Pipa is a hoot!
Usually all the tourists from nearby Recife have gone home and it's party time for the locals. For the last six years the local men have all dressed up in drag and partied up and down the main street from the early afternoon into the night. It is hilarious and really good fun.

It may not have the glamour of Rio or the music and dance of the carnivals in Recife and Salvador but it is solid good fun.

It's pretty new, only set up in August 2006 as far as I know, but it is some of the best tapas I have ever eaten, even if it is a bit pricey for Brazil. The Beef and Gorgonzola is amazing.

You can follow this link to a new Pipa website set up by local businesses and find out about restaurants and more. www.pipa.org.br/gastro.php
Or just ask the locals for the Tapas restuarant just off the main street next door to Pacifico another good restaurant, and they will point you in the right direction.
