Located
in the historical district, Pelourinho is the largest collection
of Baroque colonial architecture in Latin America, considered
a UNESCO World Heritage site. An exotic and mystic place rich
of folk culture, and majestic churches, convents and museums.
Pelourinho is not only a tourist attraction for its picturesque,
cobblestone streets and authentic colonial buildings, but
it’s also known as a great leisure place. Crowded with
cafes, live music bars, dance halls and delicious restaurants,
Pelô is visited by tourists and natives looking for
fun. Don’t be surprised to listen to all kinds of music
and rythms while walking around the Pelô, and you’ll
be amazed how easy it is to be hypnotized by Olodum songs
and dance steps.Resting on a hill overlooking the Baia de
Todos os Santos (All Saints Bay), Pelourinho offers you all
in one place; it’s also a great place to buy souvenirs
such as handcrafts, antiques, african-bahian sculptures and
other trinkets that makes great gifts.
