Cabedelo - Nossa Senhora da Guia 
N.S. da Guia
At the Praia de Lucena (20 minutes by boat from Cabedelo) is the church of Nossa Senhora da Guia. This 16th century church is in the Churrigueresque style (also found in the sumptuous church of São Francisco in Salvador), which evolved in Spain and is therefore very rare in Brazil. It also shows typically Brazilian features, like the sculptured ornaments of tropical fruits. In the first half of December the Festa de Nossa Senhora da Guia is celebrated at the Praia de Lucena, with rodeos and song and dance performances.
