The area around Lacerda Elevator is full of bustle and activity. Colorful open-air marketsare filled with frenetic bargaining and counter-bargaining and there is a swirl of color and exotic tastes and smells. It’s a great place for photos. The streets surrounding the markets and port are filled with Bahian women in multicolored skirts selling and cooking food. (Most locals opt for a brown fried fritter made of ground beans stuffed with ground shrimp.
They put a dollop of hot sauce on it.) Head to Mercado Modelo, which is an enclosed market and an experience you should enjoy. Handicrafts are one of the lures, but you can buy cachaça, nuts, hot sauces, woven hammocks and leather goods. The building has blue designs and Gothic-style windows. In the back there’s a tourist office.
