Salvador
Salvador was once a Colonial trading port. Now it's a Tourist and Industry town. Its older sections have been saved from redevelopment, including the Marcado
on the water front which was also where slaves from Africa were landed and
sold. Nowadays the Marcado has a brighter outlook ,selling Artisan work for
tourists.
There is still a turn of the century elevator that was originally used to
transport people and goods up from the waterfront to the town above.
Much of the old town still retains its old world charm. There
is a sense of pride with the past that I have not seen before.
Yes, this lady was trying not to have me take her photo as she normally sells
this service, but I got one anyway.
