Salvador de Bahia, Brazil,
is located in the North East of Brazil is the state of Bahia. Salvador
de Bahia, which is now the capital of Bahia, was the capital of Brazil
until 1763. It has a tremendous tourists infrastructure wiht hotels to
fit every taste There it the lower city, which is at sea level, is
the old port where tourists find Brazilian arts and crafts. The upper city
is accessed by steps, alleyways, or the famous Lacerda Elevator. The newer
architecture is up here along with hotels, government buildings, museums,
residential areas, and churches. Salvador has a strong African influence
that can be seen in many of its cultural attractions. Salvador is a magical
place, where the rhythm and the musicality of the Brazilian people shines
from its historical roots.
Brazil´s
most special time – CARNIVAL – a time when the entire city explodes In
a 5 day long revelry. While to the casual observer this is an apparently
chaotic time, with seemingly no rhyme or reason to the ebb & flow of
events and rituals, there is in fact a logic
and schedule (albeit
a loosely adhered – to one) that governs the festival. Although Carnival
is a Country celebration, and all the country stops for 5 days.. each region
has its own culture and different ways to celebrate. The most
popular carnival celebrations are Rio
de Janiero, Salvador de Bahia and Recife.
Salvador takes it a step further. It is known for its many wild festivals
and general sensuality and color.The Carnival happens 40 days before the
celebration of Easter Holiday, that’s the reason that the date changes
every year. For 2010 it is February 13 to 16 with the Winners Parade( The
Grand Parade) on February 20. For 2011 it is March 5,6,7,8 with the Winners
Parade on March 12. It is a good idea to plan and make reservations as
far in advance as possible as Brazil gets pretty full then. Many hotels
have increased rates in this period and have minimum stays of 3 or 4 days.
