"Bundas" spotted at Praia Flamengo Bahia Salvador

Beaches during the week will be replenishing. Brief strolls, local goods shopping, and savory treats. On a Sunday afternoon, bask under the warm glowing sunset, while sipping a chilled beverage, shaking your "bunda" (rear end), and stomping your "Havaianas" (flipflops), to live Samba music with the locals.
