A vibrant district of the north-eastern city of Salvador, Pelourinho ("Pelo" to the locals) is also its historic centre with colonial-style buildings painted in pastel colours. The district is renowned for its music, nightlife and particularly for its capoeira.
Capoeira - a martial art-dance form performed to music on the one-stringed berimbau instrument - developed amongst the African slave population during the colonial period and was finally legalised in the early 20th century. You can buy the berimbau instrument and catch a capoeira performance throughout Pelourinho.
