New Year's Eve is one of the most anticipated events of the year in Brazil. Its only competitor may be Carnival, but while Carnival is synonymous with big parties and extravagance, New Year's Eve is more of a solemn moment, where all Brazilians dress in white, meet up with family and friends, and literally get dressed up to spend the "virada do ano" together. The party is a great way to start the year on the right foot, eating grapes and, if possible, jumping the 7 waves into the sea, according to local traditions. Summer is in full swing, and the atmosphere is festive.
While most Brazilians are looking for sun and beach at this time of year, some destinations are popular and promise a successful New Year's Eve. Rio de Janeiro with its majestic fireworks is one of the classic choices, guaranteeing unprecedented entertainment and celebration.
But Latin Exclusive is convinced that another destination deserves just as much attention, a very popular part of Brazil: Bahia and its incredible beaches. It is to this northern state that we draw your attention today.
Beyond its wild beaches and the friendliness of the Bahian people, the region offers a variety of activities to satisfy absolutely everyone, from couples looking for romance, to large families or groups of friends who want to party. The advantage of the region is that it has the perfect climate for the summer season, with sunshine and warmth guaranteed. As the festive season approaches, rental houses are decked out in their best, hotels prepare dinners and dancing parties, locals gather to honour their saints and restaurants redouble their imagination to offer the best.

Finally, Salvador will welcome tourists who are eager for big parties and religious ceremonies. The famous "Festa da boa viagem" procession, established in 1750, is a must in the city on 31 December. The image of "Bom Jesus dos Navegantes" leaves the church of Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem to begin a maritime procession from the quay to the Basilica da Conceição da Praia. The next day, January 1rst, the procession takes place in the opposite direction. Hundreds of boats follow the procession in the beautiful Bay of All Saints. The night is long on the 31st, the celebrations continue until dawn and delight all visitors.
