Salvador is a friendly and
hospitable city with a lot to see and do. The historic,
mystical and enchanted capital of the state of Bahia, once
known as São Salvador, was the main port in the
southern hemisphere until the 18th century and the
capital of colonial Brazil, which is why it has such a rich
historic and architectural heritage. The people are a mix of
Africans, Europeans and Native Brazilians and are carefree,
creative and musical with deep-rooted traditions and an
incredible variety of cultural manifestations.
The State of Bahia is located in eastern Brazil, bathed
by the Atlantic Ocean along the state's 932 kilometers of
coastline, two bays, more than 100 islands and innumerable
coves and river deltas. The climate is mild, with an average
annual temperature of 27oC, and the land is
caressed by a soft breeze, especially near the seashore. The
sun shines almost year-round, which livens the spirit and
darkens the skin of a hospitable and friendly people who favor
brightly-colored clothes, believe in many gods and make life a
never-ending festival.
The region's natural beauty is truly spectacular, from All
Saints' Bay and the 50 kilometers of beaches in the city to
the area's several ecological parks.
Visitors have an incredible range of options to choose
from, so come and experience firsthand the attractions of
Salvador. For further information on Salvador and Bahia visit
