Undeniably African. The first capital of Brazil during the Portuguese colonisation from 1549 to 1763 and now of the state of Bahia in the Nordeste, Salvador was a hub of slavery until 1853, when the trade in blacks and Indians came to an end. From this sad history, the city has retained strong African roots and a mixed-race population. But the celebration of Brazil's mixed race, so much vaunted by travel agents, does little to mask the latent racial and social apartheid that governs Brazil's major cities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-1_Salvador_Br\u00e9sil.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"Jolie bahianaise en costume de f\u00eate.\" data-rl_caption=\"Jolie bahianaise en costume de f\u00eate.\" title=\"Pretty Bahian woman in festive costume.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1134\" src=\"http:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-1_Salvador_Br\u00e9sil-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pretty Bahian woman in festive costume.\" width=\"810\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-1_Salvador_Br\u00e9sil.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-1_Salvador_Br\u00e9sil-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-1_Salvador_Br\u00e9sil-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-1_Salvador_Br\u00e9sil-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Pretty Bahian woman in festive costume.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/photo-1-bis_Salvador_Br\u00e9sil_bahianaise_bis.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"Ou comment attirer les touristes dans les boutiques locales !\" data-rl_caption=\"Ou comment attirer les touristes dans les boutiques locales !\" title=\"Or how to attract tourists to local shops!\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1148\" src=\"http:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/photo-1-bis_Salvador_Br\u00e9sil_bahianaise_bis.jpg\" alt=\"Or how to attract tourists to local shops!\" width=\"512\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/photo-1-bis_Salvador_Br\u00e9sil_bahianaise_bis.jpg 512w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/photo-1-bis_Salvador_Br\u00e9sil_bahianaise_bis-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/photo-1-bis_Salvador_Br\u00e9sil_bahianaise_bis-400x600.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Or how to attract tourists to local shops!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In this tropical land of coconuts and caipirinha, the ancient city vibrates all year round to the powerful rhythms of capoeira, macul\u00e9l\u00e9, macumba and candombl\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-2.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"Danseur de capoeira.\" data-rl_caption=\"Danseur de capoeira.\" title=\"Capoeira dancer.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1135\" src=\"http:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-2.jpg\" alt=\"Capoeira dancer.\" width=\"512\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-2.jpg 512w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-2-400x600.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Capoeira dancer.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As soon as the sun goes down, the alleyways of the old Pelourinho district are invaded by musicians, adults and children, the Baianos, who gather at every street corner to play their favourite tunes.

Captain Theod\u00f3zio Rodrigues de Faria had promised that if he survived the storm he faced in the bay in 1745, he would take a copy to Brazil to thank God for saving him and his crew. This first ex-voto was installed in a chapel that was later replaced by the present-day church. The tradition of ex-votos continues today, with a dedicated room where the faithful leave a photo or reproduction of the part of their body that is ill, in order to ask God for healing. As a souvenir, they leave with small multicoloured ribbons supposed to bring good luck: the fitas de Bonfim. The Afro-Brazilian population of Salvador equates Nosso Senhor do Bonfim with Oxala, one of the Orixa often compared to Christ, son of the supreme god of Candombl\u00e9: Olorum. Despite initial opposition from the Church, a significant cult has grown up around this representation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-8_Postel_Br\u00e9sil_ao\u00fbt-2015.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-8\" data-rl_title=\"Les fitas de Bonfim, sont accroch\u00e9s sur les grilles du parvis des \u00e9glises de Salvador.\" data-rl_caption=\"Les fitas de Bonfim, sont accroch\u00e9s sur les grilles du parvis des \u00e9glises de Salvador.\" title=\"The fitas de Bonfim hang on the railings in front of Salvador&#039;s churches.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1141\" src=\"http:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-8_Postel_Br\u00e9sil_ao\u00fbt-2015.jpg\" alt=\"The fitas de Bonfim hang on the railings in front of Salvador&#039;s churches.\" width=\"576\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-8_Postel_Br\u00e9sil_ao\u00fbt-2015.jpg 576w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-8_Postel_Br\u00e9sil_ao\u00fbt-2015-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-8_Postel_Br\u00e9sil_ao\u00fbt-2015-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>The fitas de Bonfim hang on the railings in front of Salvador's churches.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Se_loger\"><\/span>Accommodation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-9_R\u00e9ception-villa-Bahia.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-9\" data-rl_title=\"Photo 9_R\u00e9ception villa Bahia\" data-rl_caption=\"Hotel VILLA BAHIA Largo do Cruzeiro de Sao Francisco, n. 16-18 PELOURINHO - SALVADOR - BAHIA BRESIL La Reception de l&#039;hotel\" title=\"Photo 9_Reception Bahia villa\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1142\" src=\"http:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-9_R\u00e9ception-villa-Bahia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1016\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-9_R\u00e9ception-villa-Bahia.jpg 1016w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-9_R\u00e9ception-villa-Bahia-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-9_R\u00e9ception-villa-Bahia-768x581.jpg 768w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-9_R\u00e9ception-villa-Bahia-600x454.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1016px) 100vw, 1016px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Hotel VILLA BAHIA<br \/>\nLargo do Cruzeiro de Sao Francisco, n. 16-18<br \/>\nPELOURINHO - SALVADOR - BAHIA<br \/>\nBRAZIL<br \/>\nHotel reception<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For your stay, we offer you the unique setting of Villa Bahia, a charming hotel in the heart of Pelourinho, made up of two 17th-century mansions.
