The city
Cabaceiras is a small town in the Paraíba Cariri, on the Borborema Plateau, known as “Roliúde Nordestina”: its streets and surrounding rural areas have served as settings for dozens of films, including O Auto da Compadecida. It is often cited as the municipality with the least rainfall in Brazil, with an annual average around 300 millimeters. The Lajedo de Pai Mateus, the Saca de Lã and the district of Ribeira, known for goat leather tanneries, are located in the municipality.

The local experience
A granite outcrop of about 1.5 km² in the rural area of Cabaceiras, covered by more than a hundred large rounded blocks, such as the Pedra do Capacete, and featuring rock paintings. The visit is guided and departs from the farm where the lajedo is located.
A wall of granite blocks stacked with regularity, like bales of wool, in the rural area of Cabaceiras. The complex includes trails through the caatinga, shelters and traces of ancient peoples.
Colorful houses around the Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora da Conceição, with a blue façade, the setting of O Auto da Compadecida and other films. The Cinematographic Memorial is in the center.
