I never said it was. I have never been there. However, I know several people who have visited there and told me this, and someone who lived there that liked but thought it was boring.
I know, I didn't say that you said that... I was refering to the people that told you that...
If there is an adjective that it's impossible to be applied to Fortaleza, it's the adjective "boring". If someone thinks that Fortaleza is "boring", the problem is inside this person. Fortaleza has tons of fun, tons of interesting places and things to do. Thousands of options. It's even difficult to choose sometimes.
When I was in Fortaleza, the bus drivers were on strike, so that was a bit of a bummer. Recife was OK, but actually, I spent more time in Belem than any of them, and grew to quite like it.

Yes, the bus drivers often go on strike in Fortaleza, their union is very "active". Almost every year they go on strike, but it only lasts for one week or so...
If you want to see a little glimpse of the nightlife and cultural life in Fortaleza, I recommend that you check the Youtube channel of user tvdivirtace1, at this link:
I talked about the beach of Cumbuco in a previous post, located about 25 to 30 kilometeres west of Fortaleza...
Today I found a video of Cumbuco that is worth a thousand words:
The place is very beautiful!
If you watch the video after the mark of 3 minutes, you will see the most beautiful part of it: the big sand dunes that meet the lakes, the coconut trees and other vegetation, with the mountains in the background!
Well, Recife "wins" in some aspects, I have to admit. Recife has much more historical buildings, and architectonic heritage. Neighbor to Recife there is the old colonial town of Olinda, full of colorful old colonial buildings. Fortaleza has far less historical buildings (altough it has a neighbor colonial town too, the town of Aquiraz, that, unfortunately, is not as visited by tourists as it should be - at least not the old downtown, since the beaches of Aquiraz are always full of tourists).
Just viewed some photos of RECIFE/OLINDA....beautiful colonial architecture, for sure! Very impressive!
I'll have to look into Aquiraz as well. It's quite a bit smaller than Olinda, I'd imagine?
