Bike Ride Along Barra, Ondina, and Rio Vermelho

We will start our bike ride through the traditional neighbourhood of Barra, where, in 1535, Vila do Pereira, the first Portuguese settlement in America, was born. Our first stop will be at the famous Barra Lighthouse and Fort, and then we will ride towards Barra Port Beach. Next, we will arrive in the Ondina neighbourhood, where we will find the famous 'Gordinhas de Ondina', a tribute to the three main cultures that formed the Brazilian people: the indigenous, the African, and the European. Continuing along the shoreline, we will arrive at the bohemian neighbourhood of Rio Vermelho, much celebrated by locals and tourists as one of the city's favourite meeting points, with many bars, restaurants, and nightclubs. Largo de Santana is one of the busiest places in the neighbourhood, especially in the afternoon, when the smell of palm oil spreads through the air, inviting people to eat one of Bahia's favourite foods, acarajé. We shall try some. Time to go back!
