| SALVADOR (photo taken on Raptor) |
Salvador (just a days sail from Itaparica) is the
capital of Bahia state in Brazil. We arrived at the Terminal Náutico da Bahia Marina on 15th October 2014.
Salvador is divided into 3 parts: a lower city, an
upper city and seaside area. Looks pretty from afar doesn't it?
We didn't have a good impression of the
lower city (mainly due to safety) but was pleasantly delighted with the
upper city (called Pelourinho) the historic centre of Salvador, the old
city.. a mix of derelict and restored colonial residences colourfully
painted and churches exhibiting its Portuguese architecture.

Nice view of the city from our berth at the Terminal Náutico da Bahia Marina (S 12.58.515 W 38.32.161). It is considered one of the nicest harbours in the country.
