Sunset from the terrace cafe in this spectacular destination can be a wonderful experience altogether.
Solar do Unhão
This is a well preserved 18th century architect that was once served the purpose of sugar shipments. According to some local legends, this place has something uncanny about it. Some of the local inhabitants also think that the ghosts of the murdered slaves are still there in the dark houses at the Museu de Arte Moderna. Inspite of the ghostly threats, visitors explore these places. There are fine restaurants that arrange shows on Folklore, performed by local artists of Salvador. This is indeed one of the greatest Brazilian tourist attractions.
