We will pass the Corredor da Vitória, Largo do Campo Grande and Avenida 7 de Setembro, until we begin our walking tour through Pelourinho.

The first stop is the Municipal Square, with a panoramic view of Downtown, including the Lacerda Elevator, the Porto and the Model Market.

We followed by Plaza da Sé, where are the ruins of the first Basilica of Brazil and the Archiepiscopal Palace. We continue towards Largo do Pelourinho, visiting the Church of Rosario dos Negros and the Casa de Jorge Amado Foundation.
