in the city of salvador, bahia
march
Everyone gets equal billing in Salvador da Bahia, where the Carnival's not a competition and Brazil's mixed heritage shines brighter than glitter.
The name of the Old City is "Pelhourino" and it is the historic center of Salvador in Bahia. It was built by the Portuguese colonists, but the culture and religion are East African (Angolan mostly, and another country I forget).
