As an homage to Salvador de Bahia, a 2014 World Cup host city, I
am sharing a few highlights of my trip that I thought you might also enjoy. Salvador, like Rio de Janeiro, is right by the water. But, in addition to the beaches, it has a lot of other things going for it. These are some of them:

The beaches - Of course, I have to start with the obligatory beach scene. Salvador has access to both the Atlantic
Ocean, where the surf is pretty strong, and the All Saints Bay (Bahia de Todos
os Santos), where the waters are calmer. The beaches are a great place to
not only enjoy the sun but also to people watch. If baking on the beach
for hours on end is not your thing, you can also visit a nautical museum, a
lighthouse (faro de barra), and a park -- all along the beach.
