Spare one day to enjoy the historic centre. Pelourinho and its colorful houses are kind of postcard of Salvador, but downtown is much more than that. And try to have your lunch at one of the best traditional portuguese style restaurants in Salvador, Porto do Moreira. Not expensive, a real roots restaurant.
