Salvador de Bahia is a living city, sensual, enveloping. It breathes its own cadence, without hesitation or shyness, very black: a happy alchemical lotion generated by a turbulent and difficult past.
The black soul of Salvador pervades every alley and is associated with contagious smiles, happy eyes and finely wavy hair, an ostentatious happiness shamelessly mixed to the worst misfortunes. Every glance reminds Teresa Batista home from the wars, the masterpiece of Jorge Amado, who is one of the most illustrious adopted sons of Salvador.
