How I terrified my mother in Salvador, Brazil

Welcome to the city of Salvador in Brazil as we explore the Pelourinho district. I’ll tell you why I’m wearing this wristband, why there’s a poster of Michael Jackson here and I’ll tell you all about something that terrified my Mum!

Here’s what The Ultimate Travelist said:

“Salvador’s pulsating heart, Pelourinho is the historic core of Brazil’s first capital, the New World’s first slave market and a melting pot for European, African and Amerindian cultures. A slick restoration added a glossy sheen but Pelourinho still grooves. Stucco-fronted Renaissance architecture provides a backdrop for wild festivals, buzzing pavement bars and capoeira dancers glimpsed inside studios crammed into the pastel-hued colonial buildings.”
