On this excursion, you’ll explore the key sites in Salvador’s vintage section. Being the initial capital of Brazil, this trip is also steeped in history. We’ll wander through the district of Barra, the birthplace of the Portuguese colony and where I first encountered Salvador several decades ago – though, I was primarily focused on the sandy shores back then! We’ll stop by the symbolic lighthouse to revel in a glorious view of the bay and sea. Our journey continues along the Avenue of September 7th to reach the Pelourinho, my top spot in Salvador. Also known as the Historical Center, it’s recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site and is an absolute must-see for visitors. This entire historic district, perched on a cliff within the bay, is brimming with churches and vibrant mansions showcasing characteristic Portuguese colonial architecture. Our exploration here involves strolling through bustling plazas and stone-paved lanes, immersing ourselves in the local vibe and interaction with friendly locals who will ensure you remain engaged.
