About State Of Bahia
Bahia is a northeastern Brazilian state with varied terrain, from tropical coast to the desertlike Sertão region. Capital Salvador is known for its historic center, Pelourinho, rich with 17th-century colonial architecture and perched above Baía de Todos os Santos (All Saints' Bay). The city's annual Carnaval celebration brings together flamboyantly costumed dancers with samba and axé music for a massive street party.
