Wegbeschreibung

From Airport head for Barra:

Take the bus that is in front of the Airport ‘Praça da Sé’. Ask the driver to drop you in front of Barra Center - in the sea front. Once you are there, you come back a few meters where there is an ice cream shop. Take that street and go ahead till you find the HSBC bank. That is our street. Go down the street till you find the second public telephone. We are nearly in front of it. The guest house has a tall wall looking like little bricks and tiles with the address written on it.

Please note that there is no name on the front side of the Guest House. For more information please give a call.

If you decide to take a taxi, make sure you take from a company called Coomtas. Ask first if he knows where our Guesthouse is and if the driver does not know take another one.

The best tip I can give you is to take a transfer that Barra Guest House can provide. In this case, a driver will pick you up at the arrivals. For this service, please contact us.

We are looking forward to meeting you.
