About the location
Located in Salvador, one of the most vibrant cities in the world, this school has taught Portuguese as a foreign language since 1990.
Just 5 minutes from the beautiful beach of Barra district in Salvador, the area is fashionable and residentially up-market. The school is surrounded by an array of shops, restaurants and trendy bars and is just 15 minutes from the historic center (Pelourinho).
This Portuguese language school doesn't just offer Portuguese courses, they also offer Samba and Capoeira classes, surfing and much more to give you an insight into Brazillian life.
Salvador da Bahia is a vibrant, colourful city in Northeast Brazil full of music and dance, a former capital of Brazil and undoubtedly the Capital of Afro-Brazilian Culture.
The state of Bahia boasts beautiful beaches stretching across All Saints Bay, the Atlantic Rain forest, rivers and mountains ideal for exploring or why not join the locals for a game of beach football.
The annual Carnival is renowned for its all night street parties and parades, and locals urge you to forget Rio Carnival and to hit Salvador instead for Carnival which is the biggest festival in the world (that's official!).
Salvador 's historic district, Pelourinho is just 15 minutes away from the school and offers a non-stop exotic blend of Brazilian beats (axé, percussion, samba, reggae and bossa nova) as well as afro-brazilian dance and the delicious food.
The city itself boasts an impressive colonial architecture, baroque churches and big candomble houses, keeping the African culture alive and providing the perfect location in which to learn Portuguese in Brazil.
