There’s more to do in Bahia Brazil than its stunning beaches (Bahia Brazil beaches are famously beautiful and the province has the most coastline of any in Brazil). What more can you do? Lots of things associated with Brazil comes from Bahia - capoeira, samba, carnival etc. The capital city of Salvador has a historic centre that is UNESCO listed. The Salvador Carnival can rival Rio in its fun street party atmosphere. Outside Salvador, you will find national parks (including one visited by Charles Darwin) and colonial villages where African slaves created their own Afro-Catholic religion.

Pelourinho es un barrio de la ciudad de Salvador, capital del Estado de Bahía, Brasil. Se encuentra en el centro histórico, que se caracteriza por su bien preservada arquitectura colonial barroca portuguesa, que le permite formar parte del Patrimonio Histórico de la Unesco. Recibe su nombre por la picota (en portugués pelourinho) que se ubicaba en el barrio. La historia del barrio está íntimamente ligada a la historia de la propia ciudad, fundada en 1549 por Tomé de Sousa, primer gobernador general de Brasil (cuando Juan III de Portugal era el monarca reinante), que escogió el lugar donde se localiza el pelourinho por su ubicación estratégica -a lo alto, cerca del puerto y de la región comercial y con una barrera natural constituida por una elevación abrupta del terreno, verdadera muralla de hasta 90 metros de altura por 15km de extensión- facilitando la defensa de la ciudad. Era un barrio eminentemente residencial, donde se concentraban las mejores casas, hasta principios del siglo XX. A partir de la década de 1960, el Pelourinho sufrió un fuerte proceso de degradación, con la modernización de la ciudad y la transferencia de actividades económicas a otras regiones de la capital bahiana, lo que tranformó la zona del centro histórico en un antro de prostitución y marginalidad. En la década de 1980 (con el reconocimiento del lugar como patrimonio de la humanidad por la Unesco) y en la década de 1990 (con la revitalización de la región del centro histórico, a partir de la expropiación de viviendas por parte del Estado y la puesta en valor de fachadas y edificios.), el Pelourinho se transformó en lo que es hoy: un importante polo cultural de la ciudad de Salvador.

Skara Brae is a large stone-built Neolithic settlement, located on the Bay of Skaill on the west coast of Mainland, Orkney, Scotland. It consists of ten clustered houses, and was occupied from roughly 3180 BC–2500 BC. It is Europe's most complete Neolithic village and the level of preservation is such that it has gained UNESCO World Heritage Site status and been called the "Scottish Pompeii".
