Salvador is located in Northeast Brazil and was the country's first capital(1549- 1763). It mixes the Portuguese colonial heritage with the African culture, brought by the slaves, producing a vibrating town with a unique identity.
I've been sailing for 2 years now and moved to Salvador 6 months ago. The city offers a wide variety of sailing spots from beach & reef breaks, chop and flat water. The main spot is known as ''Rua K'' (K Street), a small strech of Sand protected on the right by a natural rock reef extending all the way to the outside.
You can sail within the ''protected'' area or head outside where different reefs provide a good jumping ground. There is also lots of flat water spots on Itaparica Island on the other side of the bay. The water is cleaner there and the atmosphere is more relaxed.
The best season is spring where the winds coming from the north/east are stronger and steadier. Water and air temperatures are high year round. After sailing you can drink cold coconut water for U$ 0.30 and some ''caipirinhas'' (sugarcane distilled, lemon, sugar & ice) after which you will be ready to meet some ''morenas'' (no need to translate)…

Ignacio
