Salvador is the capital of Bahia, a place well known for its natural beauties, for the kindness of its people, and for the strong influence of the African culture. The capoeira, a martial art that looks like a dance, and the smells and flavors of the local dishes, plus the religious mix and the cultural diversity are samples of the happiness of a people that knows, maybe for it is surrounded by natural beauties, the true meaning of life. The city is also the location of one of the country’s most vibrant and disputed carnival parties.
It was Brazil’s first capital and preserves an important historical city center, listed as Unesco’s Cultural Heritage Site: the Pelourinho, and more than 300 churches in total.
