I met my wife in Salvador. by michaelrkitchen

Great place. Good food. Friendly people. Nice beaches. Lots of parties.

I went there for the first time around the end of 1998 for 6 months to visit my sister and her Brazilian husband. Spent my 20th birthday there and Christmas and New Years. My second trip there was around early 2003 and I stayed for about 3 months. This was the best trip of my life because I met my beautiful wife at my sister’s church. Her name is Mariana and we got married in my hometown of Kailua Kona, Hawaii September,8th, 2007. 9-8-7. Easy to remember. My 2nd trip to Brazil was during the Carnival. The whole city parties for like a week. Pretty crazy. I believe my third trip to Brazil was sometime after we got engaged on 8-8-08. That trip was for about 5 weeks. My 4th and most recent trip to Brazil was a couple of months ago and we stayed for a month. That trip was incredible. www.facebook.com/michaelrkitchen

Amazing, beautiful city. I love Brazil so much. It’s definitely one of the best if not the best place in the world. There’s an awesome laidback attitude and basically everything there rocks.

Samba & Futebol by Bruno Girin

Salvador was definitely my favourite city in Brazil. The people were great, the atmosphere electric and the weather beautiful. I also got a near religious experience there by going to a football game: Bahia vs Avai. Of course Bahia won :-) It was just amazing!

Salvador by Zoompie

Salvador is the capital of Bahia, in the northest from Brazil. Salvador was the first city to be populated by the Portuguese in the 16th century.

Today is the “city of the carnival” .. from December to March.. every people just think about the carnival (which is more or less in February).

I ’ve been there last July hollidays.. It is always hot there even during the winter.. People there is very very kind, they are always smiling and laughing… All the beaches are perfect!
