Learn Portuguese in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil

Salvador is perhaps one of the most “Brazilian” cities in Brazil. The capital of Bahia state, it has more than 12,000km of white sandy beaches along Todos os Santos Bay. Salvador is, with Rio, one of the most attractive destinations in Brazil, and it will make you dream and dance. Samba de roda, capoeira and other fusion rhythms pulse along the restless streets of the city. Known as the city of 165 churches, Salvador is a living colonial art museum, where religious buildings, covered with golden leaves, mix with colourful houses. Land of poets, it is the cradle of the Brazilian cultural mixture; it embodies the African heritage that can be sensed over the horizon. The manifestation of this influence comes in music: Salvador is one of the richest musical and cultural cities in Latin America, with concerts, festivals or popular festivities every week. It is impossible to put in words the sensual spirit of this city, leading you along at Brazil’s bewitching pace. Return to introduction...
