AmeriSpan - Study Portuguese in Salvador, Brazil

  Brazil

• Salvador: 
Salvador

Description: One of Brazil's most fascinating cities is Salvador da Bahia, often referred to as Bahia or Salvador. Here you can find impressive colonial architecture, art galleries, baroque churches and beautiful beaches. Salvador, Brazil's third largest city, embraces a mixture of African, Portuguese and Amerindian cultures, most evident in their dance, music, and cuisine. The city's cuisine utilizes typical African ingredients such as palm oil, peanuts and coconut milk. Several other colorful African traditions displayed around Salvador are capoeira (an African-Brazilian martial arts dance) and the lively candomble ceremony (a religious blend of African and Catholic influences). This mix of cultural flair makes it a very delightful destination for both Brazilians and tourists alike.

School Facilities: School is located in a neighborhood called Barra on a quiet residential street only a 5 minute walk from the beach. The school is a two story building with a sunny terrace, a kitchen for cooking class, and a dance room. The school offers 6 airconditioned classrooms, one computer with free internet access, and tea/coffee during break. Capacity is 90 students/day.
