visited this popular market on a sunday when it was full of people, smells, local colour and loved it, is a real taste of salvador, raw and lively with an array of fruits and stuff from the region. find a restaurant and you will likely have a great meal for very little money. try the moqueca made from local rock fish, octopus and prawns,,,,,wonderful.

Being there last week, we found it not only interesting, but also mysteriously attractive. Despite the hot weather, the seafood ingredients did not smell, they seemed to be fresh! What surprised more was the number of religious articles being offered in several stores. Another point to be made is the people who work there, they are really hardworking! There one finds the real Bahia, we were served by Samuel such an outgoing vendor, who said that whether we want to move to Bahia, we were welcome! It is worth paying a visit!
