Barra Travel Guide
Brazil
Barra is a small city in the state of Bahia, northeastern Brazil, with a population of 20,894. It keeps Bahia time and is a quieter base than the state’s larger urban centres.
Travellers arriving by air can use Barra Airport (BQQ), which serves the city. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Barra, so it is not a practical choice for a beach-focused stay.
