The Clube das Pás has been mentioned in a few frevos, such as Voltei Recife [I Returned, Recife] composed by Luis Bandeira, who enriched the folklore of Northeast Brazil.

In Pernambuco there were over thirty of these societies which formed the genesis of Clube do Cupim, as many of its founding members had already actively participated in some of them.

The place where Avenida Conde da Boa Vista (Count of Boa Vista Avenue) is found today was originally waterlogged, a swamp, an impassable quagmire until 1756, when it was filled in.

The ‘Corso’, one of the most traditional street parties of the Recife Carnival, consisted of a parade of decorated vehicles in the central streets of the city, with mostly costumed partygoers throwing confetti and streamers at the occupants of other vehicles.

The ‘Cruz do Patrão’ (Master’s Cross), built on the isthmus that connects Recife to Olinda, is located north of Fort Brumand south of Fortaleza do Buraco(“Hole Fortress”), which was built by the Dutch in the 17thCentury and no longer exists.
