Sensational Salvador
Salvador – a city to stimulate all your senses. Its spectacular location, on the vast Baia de Todos os Santos (Bay of All Saints), developed from a colonial history as a major sea-port – importing African slaves and exporting tropical timbers, tobacco and sugar to Europe.
African roots pervade Salvador’s popular and contemporary culture – percussive music and energetic dance, Carnival and capoeira, year-round festivals related to the orixás of
candomblé
, and a delicious cuisine that blends strong spices with sweet coconut and fresh tropical fruits.
Striking colonial-style architecture, clean city beaches, superb small hotels and restaurants – and a lively scene – make Salvador an essential stop on any trip to Brazil. With direct charter flights from Europe, it’s your ideal base for a seductive mix of beaches, culture and nature!

Accommodation
 
 


Pelourinho – is a gem. Exuberantly painted baroque townhouses jostle for space with wedding-cake churches on narrow cobbled streets and ornate public fountains set off the grand public squares”.

Alegre, pronounced ah-leg-ri, means joy.
