Salvador da Bahia, often abbreviated to Salvador by Brazilians, is the capital of Bahia state and one of Brazil's cultural higlights. This city has managed to retain its African soul and develop its unique, vibrant culture - the best of its colonial legacy. Ornate churches still stand on cobblestone streets. Festivals are spontaneous, wild, popular and frequent. Candomblé services illuminate the hillsides. Capoeira and afoxé dance through the streets.

In no other region in the world outside Africa, the Black heritage has been cultivated and blossomed as here. Salvador with its preserved colonial past, colors, flavors, churches, and spontaneous parties on the streets is something like nothing you've seen before.
