Sites To See
Sites to see:
Just walking around Pelourinho, the historic center of Salvador, is a feast for the eyes and the senses.
On Friday, there will be a guided walking tour through the historical sites in Salvador. The guide is bilingual and will be focusing on the Black experience and history.
Nossa Senhora Rosario dos Pretos: Every Tuesday evening, there is a mass that is a mixture of Afro-Brazilian and Catholic tradition. There’s a line and it’s well worth it to wait
Nossa Senhora dos Bonfims: This is the church where everyone leaves their “fitas”- their prayers on bracelets/ribbons.
While you are in Bahia, you have to eat acaraje- chickpea flour fried in dende oil, topped with okra paste, chopped tomatoes and onions and some shrimp.
And also tapioca, a gluten-free street crepe with sweet or savory fillings.
Watch out for the caipirinhas- they are stronger than you think.
