Porto Seguro Alcohol Tour for Porto Seguro music and dancing
The Porto Seguro Alcohol Tour is for good reason one of the most popular things to do in Porto Seguro – and it’s much more than just an excuse to binge drink! As you may hear during a day tour of Porto Seguro from your Brazil tour guide, Porto Seguro’s so called “Alcohol Strip” or Passarela do Alcool actually got its name in the 1800’s because it was the main passageway or route for the transportation of alcohol down to the ships docked at the port, ready for export.
Nowadays, the alcohol strip is the center of the Porto Seguro alcohol tour for residents and tourists – the main area for dining, drinking and shopping. Rather than an all-night party zone, the Porto Seguro alcohol tour is more like a gentle breaking-in to the night’s partying. Some dinner, some shopping at the stalls and stands that sell jewellery, clothes, traditional local crafts and more attractions and sights – and while you’re at it, whetting your thirst with a taste of traditional Bahian cocktails from the many drinks stalls along the street.
At the many cocktail stands you’ll have plenty of opportunity to sample – and even try your hand at mixing your own! – Bahian drinks. “Capeta” is one of the most popular. Wickedly strong, it is made of lemon juice, powdered guarana fruit, honey and – which gives it the kick! – the Brazilian national hard liquor cachaca, which is made from fermenting sugar cane.
Another variation, called caipirinha, also based on cachaca, but this time flavored with a simple mixture of fresh lime juice and sugar – served over ice.
During the day, the street where the Porto Seguro alcohol tour takes place is rather innocuously known as Avenida Portugal, or Portugal Avenue. Well populated with bars, hotels and shops – and tourists! – Portugal Avenue begins to transform around 5 or 6pm into its nighttime alter ego as the Porto Seguro alcohol tour, one of the most famous of Porto Seguro attractions, starts to come to life. Live music at the bars might be the first thing you notice, or perhaps the gradual appearance of the cocktail stalls.
The partying warms up over the next few hours, and the drinks flow, but by midnight things have quietened back down and when the stallholders close shop then a cleaning army appears and efficiently prepares the street for tomorrow.
Never fear though, it is not bedtime! Activities in Porto Seguro, music and dancing go on all night and through until morning. The Porto Seguro alcohol tour was just the start of the evening. The luaus and beach parties will continue for hours more.
