Speak Around: Arembepe Part 3

Hi , my name is Lucas and this is third and final post of this topic , here i'm going to talk about the culture of Arembepe.

Hippie Village (Aldeia Hippie)

The stronghold is about 50 kilometers from Salvador International Airport, in a huge area surrounded by dunes and full of coconut trees, bordered on one side by the beach and the other by the Capivara River. Between the 60s and 70s, it was frequented by the biggest "stoners" who staggered across planet Earth, from Mick Jagger to Janis Joplin, to Roman Polanski, Jack Nicholson, New Baianos, Gil, Caetano, Rita Lee and others. The exact date of the founding of the village is a mystery, but officially the town hall celebrated its 50th anniversary this year.

Local delicacies

Acarajé is a typical Baian dish consisting of deep fried patties made of bean paste, served with shrimp and salad - absolutely delicious and available at most restaurants, but the more adventurous should sample some sold by the street vendors.

Moqueca is a rich seafood stew with coconut milk, usually prepared with the catch of the day or assorted shellfish provided by the local fishermen.

Coco Gelada is fresh green coconut which makes for a refreshing drink and snack on hot days. Usually plucked from coconut trees growing along the coast, the coconut water is refreshing, and the flesh within is a tasty but healthy snack.

Chegança

Chegança is a popular self from Northeast Brazil based on ancient Iberian traditions celebrated in maritime-inspired novels and dances that represent fighting between Christians and Moors.

The Chegança extras are dressed as Navy sailors and act as if they were crew members on the voyage, according to their rank and rank.
