Farol da Barra
We will start our bike ride through the traditional neighborhood of Barra where, in 1535, Vila do Pereira, the first Portuguese settlement in America, was born by the grantee Francisco Pereira Coutinho. Our first stop will be at Ponta do Padrão, in the famous Forte de Santo Antonio da Barra, popularly known as Barra Lighthouse. It was strategically built on the top of a hill at the southern tip of the city. From there we have a spectacular view of the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the entrance to the Todos-os-Santos Bay, the largest in the country, on the other. Considered The first Portuguese military building in Brazil, the fort is one of the icons of the Bahian capital and currently houses the Bahia Nautical Museum.
