Salvador de Bahia: Laid-Back Beaches, Food & Music

After an incredible week in Rio, we spent a few days in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil. More laid-back than Rio, it offered a great local feel, incredible food, and nonstop music. Highlights: Stayed in Barra near Farol de Santo Antônio Lighthouse, with access to Porto da Barra Beach and Farol da Barra Beach. Enjoyed burgers at Red Burger N Barra, modern Bahian dishes at Poró Restaurant and Bar in Pelourinho, and acarajé at Acarajé da Dinha in Rio Vermelho.
