>> History ORIGIN OF PORTO DE GALINHAS

The colonization of Ipojuca began in 1560, after the expulsion of the Caetés Indians and other tribes from the southern coast of Pernambuco. From that moment on, settlers migrated to Ipojuca because of the region’s fertile lands, rich in massapê (clayey soil, usually black and of excellent quality for sugarcane cultivation). This led to a rapid increase in the construction of sugar 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, as well as the largest and best-equipped massapê plantations in the Northeast, Ipojuca quickly became known as one of the most important regions to emerge within the colonial system. As a result, thanks to its natural boundaries and advantages, Porto de Galinhas became one of the most important ports. Given all these conditions, Pernambuco became an important sugar producer and, for many years, accounted for more than half of Brazilian exports. This reputation led the region to be known as “Porto Rico” before receiving the name we know today. To carry out all this work, it was common for labor to be brought from Africa, and unfortunately, even after the abolition of slavery, this system did not stop, giving rise to an illegal slave-trading circuit. 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 created on November 12, 1895. • One of the main historical sites, the Convent of Santo Antônio, was founded in 1606 and became 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 region’s most important industries. 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 long-lasting assets. Therefore, you need to make your choice not only with today in mind, but also with your life plans. It is possible to find houses and apartments of various sizes, and this will also influence the number of bedrooms the property has. If you plan to live alone, consider whether the property you are about to acquire will meet your needs at least in the medium term. A one-bedroom apartment for a single person, for example, can accommodate a future spouse and even a crib-aged child. But if plans to start a family are closer to your reality, it may be best to consider properties with 2 or even 3 bedrooms. This way, you ensure a home that can accommodate your life projects. > Location is a relevant factor. Check whether the properties you are considering 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, health centers, schools, as well as good public transportation coverage. This will be necessary and, in the end, may save you a lot of effort.

> Assess whether the “utilities” meet your needs Number of bathrooms, parking spaces, elevator, accessibility, built-in closets… Each has its usefulness depending on the need 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 making a slightly larger investment for these items, for example. The same applies if an apartment does not have a laundry area that can accommodate 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 impractical to cover all costs. Therefore, pay attention to your needs, calculate everything carefully, and make a better-aligned and viable choice.

> Check whether your dream fits your financial reality. You may dream of having a larger apartment, with a laundry area, spacious bedrooms, and everything else. However, before you start looking for one, be realistic: assess your financial possibilities. Even with a good down payment with FGTS support, financing can become expensive due to interest rates, and no one knows what tomorrow will bring. So do not aim higher than you can handle. Evaluate the available budget, run simulations in the case of financing, and only then begin your property search. This way, you can align your dream with your reality and avoid committing to something you will not be able to fulfill. By paying attention to these tips, you will certainly make a more advantageous deal. So do not fail to consider these items!
