Full of charm and overflowing with joy, Salvador has a particular charm for gay and lesbian tourists: the harmonious coexistence between the differences of visiting Salvador: sex is such a common topic for Salvador that it is quite natural to get confused about the sexuality of some and It's almost impossible not to fall in love, even if lightly, with Bahia's swing.
Or by some city dwellerโฆ. It is for these reasons and others that Bahians insist โ and manage โ to prove to other Brazilians and also to the rest of the world how healthy, as well as more delicious, coexistence between different sexes, races and creeds is. And the best place to understand Salvador's sensual and mestizo syncretism is where it all began: the central area, which has always been divided between the Cidade Baixa, at sea level, and the Cidade Alta, located on top of the surrounding hills the edge.
Schedule the expedition on a weekday when the movement of people is greater and try not to show valuable objects there is a certain risk always present, both day and night, of any inconvenience and prevention is always the best alternative.
The shopping center brings together many of the scents and colors that characterize Bahian culture. The dumpling, by the way, is prepared by typical Bahians on street corners throughout the city. The elevator provides a stunning panoramic view of the contour of the Bay of All Saints and the dramatic luminosity of the city sky. And smile: you've arrived at the trendy Pelourinho, a group of churches and houses from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries that make up the most charming circuit of shops, inns and restaurants in the city.
Walk through the alleys, visit the main churches and enter the craft shops. Just don't be fooled by unusual proposals, often of a sexual nature, from street vendors of the famous Senhor do Bonfim ribbon and other souvenirs. A visit to Salvador is enough to understand why the culture of Bahia has such an influence on the rest of Brazil.
