Coastal Bahia village 30 minutes south of Porto Seguro — Brazilian ultra-hip since the late 1980s when São Paulo creatives discovered the Quadrado (a grass-lined main square ringed by colorful colonial houses) and the eight Praia beaches running south. Population around 3,000 explodes 5x in December–February high season; prices spike accordingly. Off-season (March–November) is the actual nomad window: rents drop 40–50% and the village feels Bahian again. Wi-Fi has slowly built out — most pousadas have it; dedicated coworking remains thin. Salvador airport is 7 hours by car or a 30-min flight to Porto Seguro.
Cost-adjusted FIRE number, time-to-FI scenarios, and how this base compares to a US lifestyle baseline.
