Alcobaça

Alcobaça is a small coastal municipality in the far south of Bahia, set on the shore Brazilians call the Costa das Baleias (Whale Coast). It is the kind of place that rewards travellers who want a slower Bahia: a broad, gentle town beach fringed with barracas, a historic centre of colonial sobrados, river and mangrove landscapes at the mouth of the Itanhém, and, offshore, the reef systems that feed into the Abrolhos Marine National Park. The town grew out of a riverside settlement founded in 1752 by families arriving from Caravelas, was installed as a village in 1772 and elevated to city status in 1896, and still keeps the look and rhythms of a fishing community with deep religious traditions. Today you come here to walk the sand, take a boat out to the reefs and the whales, and wander a compact historic core that has changed hands between cacao, cattle and the sea for two and a half centuries.
