Salvador

The coolest city in Brazil is easily Salvador. Salvador D’Bahia absorbed 1.2 million African slaves, more than any other place in the world. Therefore the African influence gives the old town an electric color and flavor. Especially charming were the pastel colored colonial buildings which lined cobblestone streets that lit up at night with drumming, dancing and Capoeira (a Brazilian martial art disguised as a dance created by the slaves).
