Trancoso, a small village on the Southern coast of Bahia, Brazil was rediscovered by the hippies in the late seventies. Back then, the village was simply a row of humble fishermen shacks lining the square with a church at the far end overlooking the sea. Today, the famous grassy square is better known as the Quadrado. The town plan, modeled on the first Indigenous Indian villages, was created by the Portuguese Jesuits who inhabited Trancoso during the years that succeeded the discovering of Brazil. This model of urbanization respected local customs that were originally part of the Indian culture long before the Jesuits arrived- marriage was only granted between two members whom lived on opposite sides of the lawn/square. Due to its stunning nature and wonderful beaches, Trancoso attracts people from the world over. Architects, craftsmen, artists and designers have found the inspiration here to develop, together with local artists and craftsmen, their own style, currently recognized and respected in Brazil and abroad.
