Are you rocking acrylic?
by Zarasher
If you have fake nails you may have a problem getting a refill in Salvador.
I searched high and low until I found BarberBeauty in Barra Shopping. It is on the third floor.
This is a hairdresser/barber/beauty salon.
Here is the website:
http://www.barberbeauty.com.br/ I had an acrylic refill done on my hands and then a pedicure. All of it together cost sixty something reais.
Trust me this is extortionate. If I had known it would have been that much (They told me a cheaper price originally) I would have just got a refill and painted my finger and toenails myself, this would have cut the cost by 70%.
Here a pedicure cost 32 RS whereas in other places it is between 8-15.
So here is my tip, if you need a refill get it done here but as for anything else... give it a miss!
If you don't have the heart to...

If you don't have the heart to say no to a begging child in the street it might be better to give him or her something other than money. One friend of mine used to give candy or pencils and paper to the kids. It might not be a bad idea to pack something like that and carry it around in your purse or backpack.
Josefina Tabacos

In Cruiz Das Almas the Josefina Cigarfactory is located.
It is interesting to see how these famous cigars are produced. From sorting the leaves, rolling, cutting, packing and storing them.
The smell there is overwhelming!
Atellier Maria Adair
by martinelli about Atellier Maria Adair
My favourite bar. This is simply a wonderful place to spend the night. It's in a house in Pelourinho, under the atellier of the artist Maria Adair. The pub is her son's and is just about one of the cutest places in town - the crafts made and painted by the artist are everywhere (inside the glass tables, hanging from the ceiling, the menu...). Service is EXCELLENT - extra compliments for Barreto, the chief waiter. You can buy the crafts if you want to, and I tell you, they are not expensive. They have the best drinks in town, the best food (with greek, french and italian items). Amongst the drinks I recommend my favourite Suco do Orgasmo (Juice of Orgasm). It's coffee licqueur, with coffee icecream, vanilla icecream, ginger, gin and a tiny bit of triple sec.
A Taste of the Amazon
by mircaskirca about Point do Guarana da Amazonia
You find this little place on the main street of Barra that leads to Pelourinho. It only has a couple of tables and people from the beach or passersby usually come for the bowl of tasty dish from the Amazon region.
As far as I know, this is the only place in Salvador where you can taste the culinary delights from the northern state of Para, which I found the most delicious (and unusual) in the whole country. They get the ingredients for the dishes from Ilha de Marajo. Since I was just coming from this beautiful island, I was happy to talk to the friendly owner about her native land. It's the most famous acai spot of Salvador. You can get it in a bowl of different size. They also have guarana and juice, ice cream made from variety of fruits of the Amazon, like acai, cupuacu (certainly my favourite!), bacuri and muruci. If you are lucky, you can also get cupuacu cake and this is very yummy too! From the main dishes they offer tacaca (the absolute winner!!) and manicoba.
I don't need to mention that I took every opportunity to visit this place:)
