Based on Fortaleza's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:
There are not a lot of places to work from, there are not many cafes. The city is not so fun, but the city is close to great dunes and beaches. The sitances are relatively long and since its always very hot it is not ideal to walk. My score would be nomad score would be 2.

Nothing about it fitted my preconceptions I had as a European about Brazil: I though it'd be dangerous with favelas everywhere.
