BRAZILIAN
HISTORIC PARADISES
SALVADOR
(Pelourinho district) AND RECIFE (Olinda)
The secular fusion of the black, white and Indian
ethnic groups produced in Salvador an extremely
rich and pluralistic cultural identity, with well
preserved traditions expressed through popular manifestations
and cults which are still present on the streets.
The
first permanent European settlement in Pernambuco
was at Olinda by Duarte Coelho Pereira, who had
been granted the Pernambuco Captaincy. He founded
the City of Olinda as Capital of Pernambuco in
1537. Just 4 miles from Recife, Olinda is noted
for its 16th and 17th century ornate churches
and for the colonial buildings. Also there is
a colony of artists and there are several places
with typical objects and gifts. Also it is a right
place to find and taste different typical foods
since there are very good restaurants and typical
street fairs.
Cities visited: Salvador , Recife and
Olinda.
Duration:
