Bahia (locally [baˈi.ɐ]) is one of the 26 states of Brazil and is located in the northeastern part of the country on the Atlantic coast. It is the 4th-largest Brazilian state by population (after São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Rio de Janeiro) and the 5th-largest by area. Bahia's capital is the city of Salvador (formerly known as "Cidade do São Salvador da Bahia de Todos os Santos", lit. "City of Holy Saviour of All Saints Bay"), located on a spit of land separating the Bay of All Saints from the Atlantic. Once a monarchial stronghold dominated by agricultural, slaving, and ranching interests, Bahia is now a major manufacturing center whose last three elections have been dominated by the Workers' Party.

Porto da Barra is one of the few points of land in Brazil that face west over the Atlantic Ocean (due to its unique geography near the entrance to the Bay of All Saints). Because of this, Porto da Barra Sundown Show features sunsets which are both spectacularly beautiful and endearing because of the way people (visitors and local residents alike) applaud, cheer, whistle and sing while the sun sets over the sea. Porto da Barra Sundown Show also features various styles of live music at world-famous Hot Dougie's Rendezvous on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The water at Porto da Barra Beach is quite calm and perfect for swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, ad and other water sports. Even on days when other beaches in Salvador are empty, there is typically a good crowd at Porto da Barra Beach. Porto da Barra also features Portuguese forts (recently renovated as multimedia museums) dating back to the 17th century and number of good restaurants, bars, shops including used book and record stores, and a State of Bahia agency which promotes the production and sale of quality hand-made artisan products, and others.
I stayed in barra two nights and was happy I did. Sunsets are fantastic and there are lots of dining options. Take a coconut down to the beach and enjoy the soft ocean waves.

An experience of integration with nature, culture, traditions, handicrafts and local gastronomy that contributes to the sustainable development of a destination, since it generates the least environmental impact when compared to other tourist activities.

We lucked out to be able to visit here on Carnival while there was a church Mass being performed. This is the most famous church in Salvador and was built back in 1754. In English, it is know as "Church of Our Lord of Bonfim". It is well worth coming and seeing the inside and outside of this church. It is located an the top of Montserrat Hill. Many tours come here as well as port taxis. BOTTOM LINE: When you arrive you will see an amazing sight of tens of thousands of multi-colored "wish" ribbons tied to every part of the decorative iron fencing surrounding the Cathedral. You can purchase these ribbons from one of the street stand vendors. Legend has it that if you come here and either tie the ribbon around your wrist or onto the church fence, when it falls off your "wish" will come true. No sure if that works since we did not have that much time to verify it! A lovely church with an interior of many gold gilded accents, altar and amazing inside details. You'll love seeing this special Cathedral. MY RATING: 10/10

Beach in Salvador da Bahia.
Flamengo Beach is about a 40 minute drive from Barra . It is a wide, sunny beach with a large restaurant (Barraca de Pipa) with beach access and showers. They also offer beach service( chairs, umbrellas, food and drinks) and the waves are not big or overpowering.

One of the most beautiful beaches in the area, however as the other beautiful beaches in the area it is difficult to get there; walking a 2 km muddy foothpad going down from a 100 m height (great views) and when you go back up again!

I visited Morro de São Paulo, which is an island in the Brazilian municipality of Cairú, in the state of Bahia. The region of the Recôncavo of Bahia was inhabited until the 16th century by the Tupinambás tribe. Martim Afonso de Souza landed on the island in 1531 and baptized her by the name of Tynharéa. Due to its privileged geographic location, it was the scene of countless attacks by French and Dutch squadrons and a true free zone of pirates during the colonial period. Morro de São Paulo has a humid tropical climate with no dry seasons, the least rainy months of the year are September, October, November and December. How to get there, the most viable is to take a bus to Valença and from there take a boat to Morro, unless you are from Salvador and come from Ferri-bot or catamaran. There are many things for your enjoyment, such as snorkeling in the crystal clear waters of the island, the fourth or first beach are great for bathing, hiking early in the day or late afternoon where you can have a nice view of the sun, you can visit the historic center and without saying that you can visit the island of Boipeba, which is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful in the district. Usually I would wake up early to enjoy the beautiful sunrise and take a dip in the calm waters of Gamboa beach where we were staying. The rest of the day we used to meet new places and get to know their cultures. The trip was unforgettable. I can not describe the feeling of spending my holidays and enjoying the New Year with some members of my family in this wonderful place that is the Morro de São Paulo. I totally recommend it due to the beautiful natural landscape and the historical riches of this beautiful place.
