Salvador is a fascinating city along the coast, the dark history of the slave trade in Salvador Bahia has given rise to a unique Afro-Brazilian culture which can be seen in the Bahian cuisine, music, religion and style. I was lucky to be in Salvador for carnival season and witness the parades in the old centre Pelourinho, sample the delicious Afro-Brazilian gastronomy like the famous moqueca fish stew and street food favourite acarajé, explore the tropical beaches and visit a local market which is crazy! This part of Brazil often gets overlooked in favour of typical tourist cities like Rio de Janeiro, but it’s got so much history, the friendliest locals and a really strong Afro-Brazilian culture which makes it a great city to visit!
