Bahía: the candomblé route through Salvador

By Kafele Herring

placeholder draft — replace with full piece.

salvador is the spiritual capital of brazil. the candomblé houses run the historical religious tradition. the capoeira terreiros run the body. the food at casa de tereza runs the rest.

the entry is the pelourinho district, the cobblestoned upper town. you do not go alone after dark. you do not need to.
