Where to sleep in Salvador — the neighborhoods and the picks, siesta side to fiesta side.
Pelourinho — the painted center
Pastel colonial squares, drum parades and capoeira circles — Afro-Brazil's showcase.
Santo Antônio — the boutique hill
Restored mansions with bay views just beyond the crowds.
Barra — beach and lighthouse
The city beach by the Farol, sunset applause included.
Rio Vermelho — the night quarter
Bohemian squares where the acarajé queens set up at dusk.
