The capital of the state of Bahia and Brazil’s third largest city, Salvador offers an exciting mix of pulsating musical rhythms, Colonial buildings, beautiful beaches and African culture. Many consider the 4 day carnival here to be the best in Brazil.
Brazil’s national dish is traditionally eaten on Saturdays. It originates from Bahia (but is eaten all over Brazil) and is a delicious mixed meat stew cooked with beans and eaten with hot chillies, pepper and lime sauce, Brazilian rice and manioc flour. The dish originated from the leftovers that were fed to the slaves.
