I never been to SP breh, it's landlockedso I avoided it. If I went back to Brazil I'd definitely check it out now though, culture and food game are supposedly off the charts.

Much respect, been looking into both cities. While Rio seems to be the best looking hands down and is more relax, SP seems to have more to do overall, tourist stuff aside.
@dc007 feel to chime in as well breh.
Another brazilian famI'm from bahia and it's the heart of afro culture there, It's also very slow paced. It really was a change of pass after being in rio.
When I'm financially able I want to buy a place there and just visit every year, getting reconnected with my roots.
Eu falei barato...We stayed in rio vermelho salvador but i'm not going to recommend you the hotel we had because it was pure shyt. If i go next time i'm going with airbnb.
But if you stay there you need to eat at http://www.fogodechao.com.br/salvador-•-ba/. goddamn that meat!!! I almost never used my red card only the green one.
Had to unbutton shorts because a that premium meat overload.it's also close to bars and a small club and everyone was out at night.
The ignorance some people have when they look shocked when I tell them I'm from Brazil. It's like they believe every black person can only come from Africa.

Esse restaurante deve custar R$40 no minimo por pessoa, e os assadores de carne desse restaurante provavelmente devem ser gauchos, e eu sou do RS então eu não acredito que valha a pena.
Você não é de Salvador? Não conhece algum hotel ou pousada por menos de 100 por dia?
my nikka, im looking some places at airbnb, theres some cheap stuff thereI think it depends on what your interest are. I hear they have better "american like" parties in SP. Rio is one of my Fav cities however so I am going to recommend it. It is also a really beautiful city. Depending on the month you go, there is also Islands not too far from the cities you can visit for a few days that are beautiful. Pretty sure the women in Rio will look way better as well.
Will try to practice my PT.
O restaurante que ele recomendei muito caro, mas tem lugar perto chamada Suco 24. Eles vende sanduíches e shakes que é muito bom.
Pra Hotels, eu posso recomendar http://www.ibis.com/gb/hotel-5173-ibis-salvador-rio-vermelho/index.shtml , mas eu acho que voce deve usar homeaway.com ou airbnb. Homeaway.com geralmente é mais baroto.

Casa Inglesa in Barra. Clean. Great location. Breakfast included. You're 2 blocks from the beach and 2 blocks from all the buses that can take you to Pelourinho, Rio Vermelho, Salvador Shopping, etc. Ran me about $65/night last month. http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Re...ique_Guest_House-Salvador_State_of_Bahia.htmlEu falei barato...
