"Salvador da Bahia" a Salvador da Bahia Travel Page by acemj

When I was planning my trip to Brazil, I began to read about Salvador and it soon became clear that I would have to add it to my itinerary. I read about the historic center called Pelourinho (a UNESCO World Heritage site) with its colonial mansions and grand churches. I read about its unique African influenced culture that is evident in its food, music and religious traditions. I even read about its sunny weather and beautiful sunsets.

Well, two out of three ain't bad! Unfortunately, the weather didn't really live up to my expectations, but I still had a great time exploring the city and dabbling in its cultural offerings. I came away from Salvador with the confirmation that adding it to my itinerary was the right decision and a feeling that no trip to Brazil would be truly complete without a visit to this cultural wellspring.
