Loving São João in the Largo Terreiro de Jesus in the Pelourinho. 🎉⁣ ⁣ Today and tomorrow are the last days to join us!⁣ ⁣ (Until next year)⁣ ⁣ #sãojoão #festajunina #pelourinho #salvadorbahia #igbahia #ig_brazil #bahiabrazil #bahiabrasil

Traditional decorations for São João -- part of Festa Junina, a popular festival in the northeast of the country.⁣ ⁣ Salvador pulls out all the the stops every June for this winter festival.⁣ ⁣ Festivities (free, family-friendly, and open to the public) will be in the Pelourinho from June 23-26.⁣ ⁣ Learn more about São João (link in bio) 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼⁣ ⁣ #sãojoão #pelourinho #salvadorbahia #igbahia #ig_brazil #bahiabrazil #bahiabrasil #festajunina

Most people don’t associate country music, plaid shirts, square dancing, and cowboys with Brazil. But, in this large country of over 200 million people, there is a lot of regional music for every musical taste.⁣ ⁣ As winter arrives in Brazil, particularly in the northeast, thoughts turn to forró, the most popular country-style music, and the forró-heavy São João festival that is part of Festa Junina.⁣ ⁣ The mainstay instruments of forró, the triangle and accordion, provide a hard-to-miss combination and when I hear it I have flashbacks to grade-school square dancing classes.⁣ ⁣ The party in Salvador this year is June 23-26 in the Pelourinho. And it's family-friendly and free.⁣ ⁣ Join us and don't forget your plaid shirt!⁣ ⁣ #sãojoão #pelourinho #salvadorbahia #igbahia #ig_brazil #bahiabrazil #bahiabrasil

A little São João prefunc for you -- Alceu Valença in Teatro Castro Alves in April. 🎶⁣ ⁣ My first in-person introduction to his music was São João a few years back. ⁣ ⁣ It was amazing to see an absolutely packed main square of the Pelourinho with people of all ages there singing along at the top of their lungs to his music.⁣ ⁣ The music he and the crowd are singing is Girassol.⁣ ⁣ #alceuvalença #saojoao2022 #salvadorbahia #musiclovers #forro

Festa Juninas are getting close! 👢⁣ ⁣ Join us in the Pelourinho June 23-26 -- and don't forget your plaid shirt.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #forro #saojoao #Sãojoão #salvadorbahia #igbahia #ig_brazil #bahiabrazil #bahiabrasil #pelourinho

About this site

This is the site I wish I would have had when I first started visiting Salvador. As a friend of mine says, “this is your love letter to Salvador.” It’s true.

This is an amazing place, filled with completely unique culture and warm, friendly people. But, it’s also somewhat inaccessible for non-Portuguese speakers. That’s where I come in.

I still remember what it was like to be new here, and am here to here to help you make the most of your time in Salvador. Learn about my Salvador Concierge service.

Seja bem-vindo/a a Salvador!
