Salvador & Bahia Handbook

Colourful Portuguese mansions; gilt-covered baroque churches; the martial art dance of capoeira and a thriving music scene: Salvador is a treasure trove of Afro-Brazilian culture and beautiful colonial streets. The joys of Bahia extend far beyond the city, though - with fantastic cuisine, beaches backed by coconut palms, and plunging waterfalls. From the rituals of candomblé to the rhythm of samba, this guidebook will help you make the most of your visit to this exotic region.
