The Weather

If you are unlucky enough to have a whole rainy day, no big deal curl up in a hammock on the terrace and doze or read a book, failing that lounge back on the three meter sofa in the living room and watch a film on sky TV or even take the short taxi ride to the big international shopping mall in Maceio
Summer, sunshine with always a breeze off the ocean, warm but never exceptionally hot.
For swimming the ocean is warm the whole year as is our pool.
