Horrível. Não procurem Recife para visitar. A cidade tem o trânsito mais horroroso do mundo, tanto que bateram no nosso carro parado. Além do mais, o povo em Recife é muito sem educação e no trânsito fica pior. Tanto que tem acidente um atrás do outro. As praias tem problema com ataque de tubarão...
