Yeah dude(man). Casquina de Siri is right on the beach. There is a bunch of restaurants in that area. Nice place and the live music is pretty good. When I went there, I already had female company. I had no idea there was some "action" going on in there. Personally, for me there is no better place in Salvador to pick up girls than the Iguatemi malls. Just go there, talk to the girl(s), and in no time at all you got yourself a girl friend. J.G.

Yah, I picked up a FINE streetwalker in front of that place (she didn't come out from there). Sooo, keep your eyes open.

Hey Guys,
I'm going to Brasil in March; still haven't decided firmly on a city. Salvador sounds good...Is anyone else going to be there around this time and needs a copilot?
See my post in 'General Info' and let me know.

I desperately need some advice - I am going to Salvador for Carneval and hotel Chile says staying the period 02/28/03 until 03/05/03 will cost me R$450. What the f**k is R$?? Real would be great, but during Carneval that is a bit too cheap, isn't it? Do they really mean US$? I can't really ask them, because then they will obviously say it's US$....
Any advice on what R$ is would be greatly appreciated, because I have to reserve my room soon!

R$ is Real. Now is it 450 Reais a night or for the whole stay? If it is for the whole stay then you're looking at 90R a night which seems like regular pricing to me.

Yes, it is for the whole stay. To me that price sounded too good to be true.
By now I guess it is too late, because they don't answer my reservation e-mail. Just my luck...

Hello Beppe!!
The price of R$450 for the stay in the hotel is really cheap.
You only need to do a mathematic division to calculate the price
in US$ : 450/3' 8 = 118 US DOLLARS. A bargain!!!
I hope you can to enjoy with your trip to Salvador.I know Rio
but I think that Salvador can to be also a exciting place
to pick up girls.

Hello hottraveler,
I was 2 times in Salvador...and I must say the scene changes very fast. The second time I was there there were a lot of low quality girls on the street. Beside it can get quite dangerous away from the tourist center Pelourinho. Places around the 3 mentioned boates on the road to Itapua are saver
I went to Salvador to get one of those tall black Bahian girls, but this time the street was bad..

Okay . I really want the truth about Salvador. It is advertised as being this cultural center for black people . How true is it ? I heard some black guys talking about it and they basically said that the women, and not only bahiana, exhibited a preference for black men. This is not the first time I've heard this. I know it has been discussed time and time again but I wish to get a definitive answer. I am going there in June and I hope the scenre is good but I do not want to waste my time. From my experiece with women in other countries (or even this one for that matter), the only major color women care about is green.

Curry,
try Senegal if you're looking for tall african girls, best physiques guaranteed!

Thanks for the feedback. I'm looking foward to experiencing the culture in Brazil. I have heard that the women are very nice in attitude. Where can I fing=d good apartmewnt rentals in Salvador that are close to the action ? Also, how difficult is it to get acquanted withthe girls who are not "working". LastQuestion. My English and Spanish are good but I know no Portuguese. Will it be a huge barrier ?

You guys seem to be quoting rather high hotel prices. During my stay in Salvador in late 2001 I only payed 15 R a night (even though the regular price was 20 R). The name of the hotel was "Hotel São Jose" and lies on avenida sept do setembro, in other words, right in the centre of the city, a short walk away from Pelourinho and close to a shopping centre.
As for the women, yeah, they do seem to prefer black men, but if you play your game right, just being a Westener can get you a far way; the trick is to go around in the street shops in centro and barroquinha and pick up the attendants.
-
Ill be there in June. Can someone please infoerm me of some basic dos and donts and basic cost, taxis, girls, food, dangers, fun spots etc. How can one avoid being taken. How safe or dangerous is it. do the girls practice safe sex ? Ill be in Barrra, What is the community like ?

Curry,
All of the central parts of the city are safe at daytime, but at night time it's very dangerous to walk around alone, especially if look foregin, not even the Brazilians walk around in centro at night.
Taking cabs is a good way to get around, and sometimes it's better to negotiate the price before you enter the cab.
Brazilian girls are generally arrogant and very down to earth, which means you won't run in to many gringo-hunters, you will have to do most of the work yourself and an excellent way to meet girls is to see them at their working places. The best area that I know of in Salvador is "Barroquinha" which is basically a street filled with shops right inbetween centro and Pelourinho.
Barra is an area right by the beach where only the poorest black (and for some reason predominantly male) Brazilians and foregin tourists go. If there are no cops around, you might get in trouble even at daytime. Do not expose yourself to the locals alone, if you want to go swimming you ought to take the bus to some more remote beach where middle class Brazilians go.
Some girls practise safe sex, others don't, for your own safety you should always practise safe sex.

Tanx lithium. I'm really trying to have a good experience because I'll be there for 10 days. Where do you suggest I find an apartment for a reasonable price but still closed to the action ? I'm really not concerned about going swimming. And when you said "poorest", were you talking about the natives or the tourist as well. This guy has a pretty nice looking apartment on the web (at least the pictures say so). It's in Barra. Should I trust it. Oh yeah, are there ANY good lookin women in that area ? One last thing. It has been my experience to allow for 100 US$ a day in foreign countries . Is this too much or to little considering food , drinks , women, taxis, etc.?
Thanx again.
