Morro de Sao Paulo
MORERÉ AND BOIPEBA: PARADISE OF BAHÍA
You may never have been to a place like it. You may have sudden flashbacks after a while. You will never fully return by Moreré , where you will ask yourself 24 hours a day what is the meaning of urban life of hurry and haste. There is no time, there is no internet connection and the time is an approximate calculation made by looking at the sun with between two and four hours of error. Not even the tidal changes, which almost flood the campsites at times and make you walk kilometers to step into the water at the end of the afternoon, manage to be a reliable guide to the beach without time. Miles and miles of sand yet to be discovered by the foreign tourist, always attended by very peaceful Bahians.
Moreré, on the island of Boipeba , is a wonderful beach that is somewhat difficult to get to (by boat from Salvador, by air taxi from the airport or by bus and boat from Valença) but more difficult to get out of. For what marks you, I say. Coconut trees and palm trees of all sizes , huge crabs, no hotel in sight and just a few little shops, rental houses, bars and campsites to guarantee you the minimum you need to enjoy this spectacle of nature. On the same island the town of Villa Boipeba does offer more structures and some accommodation with more comfort and almost luxury like the Pousada Luar das Aguas.

MORRO DE S Ã OR PAULO, THE BRAZILIAN IBIZA
Very close to Moreré, and in fact belonging to the same municipality, is Morro de Sao Paulo . It is also reached by catamaran for those who use biodramines best from the Salvador dock. As soon as you arrive, a cab. The funny is that that's what they call the carts with which several men from the island offer to take your bags to the hotel, since there are no cars. good though, it is difficult for the hotel to catch you very far because they are all in the opposite street when you arrive , where an arch from the island's original defense fortress acts as a majestic entrance gate.
Morro de São Paulo, the Ibiza of Bahia
In addition to paradisiacal beaches, Morro has a very complete and varied tourist structure to enjoy any type of visit, reaching extremes of luxury and irresistible pleasure. If you stay as a couple in the Pousada das Artes In fact, you may not think much more is needed. You'll change your mind when you see the beaches or taste the caipirinhas which are sold at night. Or when you see the sunset from the Toca do Morcego , where delicious paellas and moquecas are eaten and where on Fridays the lounge bar turns into a lively party. Another night option is the Pulsar nightclub, one of those responsible for Morro becoming more and more known c Like the Brazilian Ibiza for its combination of beach and nightlife.
PELOURINHO DAY AND NIGHT
Stroll through the Pelourinho, in the center of Salvador, it is to travel in time, to feel the essences of the colonial past of the city without ever forgetting its strong African roots, which the citizens of the blackest town in Brazil will remind you of. L he diverse capoeiristas that make exhibitions in the street and many of the apparently authentic bahianas with their traditional dresses , they will want to charge you for anything, even for taking a picture of them, in an extreme desire to take advantage of tourism economically. But even then you will not be able to avoid falling in love with the calm and friendly people of this city.
Stepping on its stones from another era, admire the Igreja de São Francisco or see those multicolored facades like the bonfim phyta (lucky bracelets of the most diverse colors), it becomes even more exciting talking with some people who they are always willing and have time to do it . To eat, a acaraje from the street or a fish moqueca in the Smile of Dada . At night, Pelourinho exudes a certain tension of danger (many robberies take place), but this accentuates its unpredictable tone of bohemian, rogue and cachaça bars.
