The Mercado de São Joaquim is the city's big working market, where fishermen bring in the morning catch and stalls sell the produce, spices and religious supplies that Bahian kitchens and Candomblé houses use. It rewards a guide who can explain what you are looking at.
The tour ends at Rio Vermelho, where each February 2 thousands of worshippers dressed in white bring offerings of flowers, perfume and mirrors to Iemanjá, goddess of the sea. The festival is said to have begun in 1923 after a fishermen's group sought guidance from the orixás during a scarcity of fish; it is considered the state's largest public Candomblé gathering.
A meal at a local family's home turns the day from sightseeing into conversation. Bahian cooking blends Portuguese, Indigenous and African influences, and dendê oil, brought into Bahian cooking by enslaved Africans, remains one of its signatures.
