A good market

Excellent

This market is a must-visit in the capital of the state of Bahia - Salvador. The Market Model brings in more than 260 craft, painting, food, and drink shops. Built in 1861 in the Neoclassical architectural style, it is considered part of the artistic heritage of Brazil. Located in the "Comercio - cidade baixa", from outside the market you can see the Porto de Salvador, Lacerda Elevator (Another must-visit tourist spot) and typical rounds of Capoeira. In terms of craftsmanship you can find everything: paintings, the famous "fitinhas do Senhor do Bonfim" (used for wishes), clay or wood dolls and a multitude of small gifts.

Breathing culture in Bahia

Respirando cultura na Bahia

Excellent
Vizinho do Elevador Lacerda de um lado e do outro da Baía de Todos os Santos, o Mercado Modelo de Salvador, construído em 1861, é um ponto turístico icônico da Bahia. O espaço abriga 260 lojas que se dividem entre artesanato, culinária, moda e decoração. É possível vivenciar e conhecer uma grande parte da cultura baiana passeando pelos seus boxes e corredores. Já nos fundos do mercado, há uma área coberta onde a roda de capoeira reúne observadores curiosos e entusiastas do jogo e da música. Você pode sentar ali mesmo e se refrescar com uma água de coco gelada ou uma cervejinha. Lá dentro encontramos facilidades como banheiro, caixa 24 horas, agência dos correios, informações turísticas e dois restaurantes no piso superior com vista para a baía - o Camafeu de Oxóssi e o Maria de São Pedro. É o lugar certo para você garantir suas lembrancinhas de viagem e imergir de cabeça nessa cultura rica, que é a baiana.

The market memories

Le marché aux souvenirs

Excellent
Face au port et au pied de l’ascenseur qui monte de la ville basse au Pelo, le mercado modelo est le lieu indispensable pour acheter un souvenir, s'offrir un petit specacle de capoeira et manger sur le pouce dans l'un des nombreux petits "bouibouis" appelés ici baracas, proposant de la gastronomie bahianaise pour 3 fois rien.
Facing the harbor at the foot of the elevator that rises from the lower town to Pelo, the mercado modelo is the essential place to buy a souvenir, go on a specacle capoeira and eating on the run in one of the many small "bouibouis" called here Baracas, offering Bahian cuisine for 3 times nothing.
