São João

My wife and I went to Serrinha with some friends to get out of Salvador for a couple of days like the rest of the city does for São João. This is a holiday in June where everyone goes to small towns in the country and dances Forró. It's a celebration for Saint John and just like every holiday in Brazil, it's a another reason for a party.

My pictures don't show any of the party. Sorry, but you wouldn't want to see me dancing Forró anyway. We spent a lot of our time hanging out in the town and just enjoying the fresh air. What I like the most about this time of the year and these small towns is that you can go from home to home and be invited in to have a taste of the local cuisine and a drink.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Very relaxing and good company.
In a nutshell:Just let the world pass you by.

We didn't stay in a pousada. I assume they have at least one there, but I didn't see it. We stayed with our friend's... more travel advice

Mosquito Repellent What to Pack (1)

I got eaten up at night. Repellant or netting would be very helpful. The mosquitos there love fresh blood. more travel advice
