How about escaping crowded beaches and the extreme temperatures of the European summer? While Europe experiences the peak of heat and high season, Brazil is in the middle of winter. In the Northeast, however, this season is far from cold. Between July and September, the weather is usually more generous, with clear skies, drier days and pleasant temperatures, far from the intense heat of the Brazilian summer.
It is in this contrast that the region emerges as an attractive alternative for travellers who want to experience the coast at a different pace. From dunes and crystal-clear lagoons to coastal villages, natural pools and preserved islands, the Northeast combines nature, relaxation, culture and hospitality in a perfect season for those who want to trade crowds for open horizons and rush for contemplation.

European and US airlines could remove more frequencies in the winter and ground more aircraft than usual as high fuel costs make weaker services uneconomic, aviation analyst John Strickland has warned.
Strickland, who heads up JLS Consulting, made the prediction during a World Aviation Festival webinar on 16 July, in which he discussed how the aviation industry can respond to the current jet fuel crisis.
“No matter how much airlines reduced prices to stimulate demand, they still wouldn’t be covering the cost of the higher price of fuel. And I think we’ll see more planes on the ground as a result,” he said.

There are destinations that shine for a season, and then there is Madeira—an island that seems to exist outside the rhythm of the calendar altogether. Floating in the Atlantic Ocean, its emerald mountains tumble towards a sapphire sea, ancient forests cloak volcanic peaks in mist, and gardens bloom with remarkable consistency, regardless of the month. Here, spring never quite ends, winter rarely arrives in earnest, and every season carries its own invitation to explore.
Now, Madeira is embracing that timeless appeal with renewed confidence, unveiling a campaign that positions the Portuguese archipelago not simply as a sun-soaked escape, but as one of Europe’s most compelling year-round events destinations.
