Sale ends Tuesday night the 9th at midnight. No exceptions. The first slaves coming on Portuguese ships from Nigeria landed literally on this beach. Destined to be sugar cane cutters. The Brazil coast reaches close towards the Africa coast right at Bahia and Nigeria. Bahia represents the heart and soul of Brazil according to any Brazilian I ever met. History would prove it true. #brazil #bahia #velvia
