I have always been interested in Capoeira, and Salvador is famous for it. There are many masters and groups based here.
Salvador de Bahia is Brazil´s Capital of Happiness, and the third most populous city. We´d heard a lot of amazing things, although we knew they´d be curtailed by my knee injury. It has crazy weather, incessant begging and a high crime rate; it also has amazing parties, a magnificent historic centre and fascinating African roots. We stayed in three different hostels, hit the town for Samba, and I even got a haircut!
When looking to travel in Brazil, you’ll find the actual logistics of travel can be the most expensive part; and while the buses are fantastic (much better than UK) the are frequently as expensive as flights – which by reputation aren’t exactly cheap! However, we’ve just flown with Gol airlines and were so impressed I’m dedicating this entire post to them.
