Brazilian Real Exchange RateEven in the tiniest of places, and Caraíva is a small village indeed (population: 1,500), you will find a chapel or a church, often painted in bright colours, to remind you of the importance in the daily life of Brazilians of the ever present Christian churches.

Caraiva is a small jewel in the south of coast of the state of Bahia. A tiny fishing village, everything in Caraiva is basic, from the unpaved streets to the lack of electricity supply – electricity is arriving in Caraíva only as we speak. During our recent trip to the region, we were witness to an exceptional moment in the serene and remote Caraiva (a scene that belongs to the imagery of the big city): the rush hour. Of a serene and gentle kind of sort, that is, nothing like the frantic comings and goings we’ve grown used to. Today is the turn for the pictures I took during a one-day trip to the little village of Caraíva, south of Arraial d’Ajuda and Trancoso: Caraíva 2007. Caraíva is a small fishing village with sand-covered streets and where electricity is arriving only just now. |
