Cumbuco is a beach village of about 25,000 inhabitants in Ceará, some 30 km west of Fortaleza. It has been discovered by European developers, and small resorts are popping up. Larger projects are in the pipeline, such as a golf course and a beach volleyball arena with a training camp for players. To the west you can see the modern and steadily growing port of Pecém. Built by Companhia Siderúrgica do Pecém, a joint venture between Brazilian and South Korean companies, it has brought many Korean workers to Cumbuco. Thus, Korean letters can be seen throughout the village. With a steel mill and petroleum refinery to come, it promises a certain impact on the region.
