Church of Bonfim and shops around Salvador: "Fitinhas do Bonfim" Salvador da Bahia Shopping Tip by mangueirense
Salvador da Bahia Shopping: 35 reviews and 44 photos
There is an absolutely "must to bring"souvenir you should bring home from Bahia to your friends and family: the "Fitinhas" from Salvadors most famous church, the Bonfim church.
The legend says, that if you give one of them to a friend or beloved one he will have three wishes free and if the "fitinha" fall down automatically (and you did not told your wishes to someone else) your wishes will come true.
For that you have to put the "Fitinha" around your arm and shut three times, one for each wish you have.
What to pay: They are really cheap, you can buy a bunch of ten or more and pay around 5 brazilian Reais.
Directions: You can buy those "Fitinhas" around Bonfim church, in Pelourinho, Mercado Modelo or probably somewhere at the street or the beach.
