Crato is a Brazilian municipality in the state of Ceará. Located in the Cariri region, it is popularly known as the “Oasis of the Sertão” because of its more humid conditions, which favor farming and livestock raising. It borders the state of Pernambuco and is also a road junction linking it to Piauí, Paraíba and Pernambuco, as well as to Fortaleza, the capital of Ceará.
It is one of the most important and oldest cities in Ceará, currently ranking as its sixth most populous city, the 3rd most developed and the state's 7th largest by GDP. Because it sits at the foot of the Chapada do Araripe, its winter temperatures are relatively low, though high in summer, unlike other areas of the Northeast.
As part of the Cariri Metropolitan Region, Crato is a city of great regional importance. It stands out as a center for trading rural products from the agricultural development of the irrigated valleys of the Cariri region. In this area it is especially known for the famous Crato Agricultural Exhibition (Expocrato), an agricultural fair that also features shows with famous bands and singers and attracts thousands of visitors to the city every July.
