Bahia, the state of happiness
Most of the things that spring to mind when you think of Brazil hail from Bahia – pristine beaches and warm ocean waves; a smiling and spiritual people; the seductive smells and tastes of the tropics – a cocktail of flowers, spices, cocoa, coconuts and caipirinhas. The state of Bahia is a favourite with Brazilians going on holiday – it combines a diversity of culture, beaches and natural wilderness.

“Brazil’s most famous novelist, Jorge Amado, was a Bahian, as were many of its greatest musicians – it was Bahia that gave the world samba, capoeira, Carnaval and candomblé. The state has by far the best cuisine in the country, along with many of its best beaches”. © Footprint Brazil 2007, Alex Robinson.
