Pedra do Sal Review

We went to Pedra do sal on Monday night and it was crazy. Live music, lots of people on the street and small shops can buy drinks everywhere. Most people are locals and there are a few tourists. If you want to go out on Monday night in Rio, I recommend you go here.

Always on monday, there is a very nice Samba going on there. It starts at 7:30 pm.

In a ramshackle neighborhood north of downtown, Pedra do Sal is a classic slice of Rio culture. In fact, it was on this spot that many credit the birthplace of samba (back in the latter half of the 19th century). Today this open-air live music event, free and open to all, features samba musicians jamming around plastic tables, while a dance-loving crowd gathers around. Vendors selling cold cans of cerveja (beer) keep things festive. The jams happen on Monday and Friday nights, and are cancelled during heavy rains, so keep an eye on the sky. Since the surrounding area is dicey, it's best to take a taxi there.

Un buen lugar para pasar la noche en Rio. Nos lo recomendaron algunos locales y nos sorprendió gratamente.Está rodeado de puestos vendiendo mayormente cerveza, gente bailando en la calle: mucha música y mucha alegría, típico en tierras cariocas.Los precios en general no son malos y el ambiente es tranquilo y alegre.
