# Bahia (Recôncavo gateway)

Salvador, Brazil

Bahia is the cradle of colonial Brazil and the heartland of its African soul. Ringing the vast Bay of All Saints, its fertile Recôncavo grew sugar and tobacco on enslaved labor, giving rise to Candomblé, capoeira and the rhythms that still define Brazilian culture.
