The best time to make vacation in Brazil is Carnival! And the best place to enjoy Carnival is Salvador da Bahia, where everything is possible. Carnival in Bahai is not a Question of nubile, scantily clad women with feathers on top of floats, as in Rio ‘ s Carnival. It is a matter of you doing your thing in the streets til you drop of exhaustion. Rio ‘ s Carnival is less than a kilometer of the grandstand – lined street Rua Marques de Bahia Carnival Sapucai but miles of streets is crowded with people, Blocks and blocks is not mentioned.
Bahia Carnival has two parts: There is a parade trio consisting of electricos, semitrailors with the sound equipment with bands and barracas the load. The trio electricos parade moves slowly along two circuits, one of the center of the city of Campo Grande ( Salvador ‘ s Central Park ) at the Praca Castro Alves, and the other circuit runs from the sea coast to Barra Ondina.
They are named because the first had Trio Trio in 1950, a 1929 Ford with two musicians and a driver. The trio are the basis of the blocos, which groups of Paraders in similar getups are usually taken from, are shorts and a T – shirt. They should have a favorable All – Inclusive Bloco join the parade inside the rope along the roads that have non – Bloco members to remain outside the rope from around the trio.
The other part of the Bahia carnival consists of the barracas which have their own sound systems and are scattered about Salvador, the whole town turn into a giant block party. The barracas are accompanied by a supplier of beer and batidas ( killer – strength Cachaca mixed fruit ).
In 2010, Carnival starts on 11th February, 2011 on 3 March, 2012 16th February, 2013 and on 7 February. The first evening of the carnival, the mayor of Salvador is the key to the city to the Rei Momo (Festival King) in Campo Grande. The second night, Friday, is usually more intense than the first, as everyone gets into the swing of things and by Saturday night all hell breaks loose. Be careful crushed by the giant of humanity in the closed areas such as in the trios. Some people rent vacation packages camarotes ( boxes along the route the parade away ) look to so that they descend into madness as the mood strikes them.
The carnival has a large presence of police, with police patrols to cut through the crowd like Moses through the Red Sea, maintain an air of civilization into the chaos cut. This is necessary to reduce the level of violence in what is essentially a drunken melee. The disadvantage is that if you are not alert a patrol could come at you from behind and push it aside ( the presence of female police officers patrol in which helps inhibit violence ). Also in the crowd, there are many pickpockets plying their trade, so it ‘ s a good idea, your money and keys in a pocket or purse fastened inside your clothes to keep up with a strong safety pin. But hey – Carnival in Bahia is not something can be missed!
