Travel Before: Salvador of Bahia

Salvador of Bahia Brazil

Salvador, situated on the Todos os Santos Bay, is the capital of the state of Bahia, Brazil. Salvador was the first capital of Brazil, and the signs of its significance are evident in the city’s Historic Quarter. Salvador is a bustling, vibrant and stunning colonial town with many attractions and a unique charm. Pelourinho, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is Salvador’s delightful Old Town that provides a peek into Salvador’s early days. In this area you can explore the site of the former slave market and pillory, baroque-style churches and colonial architecture. Also from colonial times is the Lighthouse of Barra, one of about 15 forts scattered around the city. Salvador is Brazil’s colourful and historic centre of Afro-Brazilian culture, African culture is a significant part of this city and is apparent in its food, music and religious traditions. There are numerous terreiros, temples of the widely practiced Candomblé religion of African origin, dotted throughout the city. Most terreiros will allow visitors to attend their ceremonies. The best of Salvador is in its daily life, strolling on the beach, relishing its delicious food, admiring the sunset and enjoying its unique culture. Salvador embraces you and doesn't let you go, so come at your own risk.
