The Pier of Santa Maria
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Wenn man morgens sehr früh da ist, kann man sehen wie die Fischer die Fische auf den Steg bringen und vorbereiten/Ausnehmen. Es ist aber auch zeitweise sehr voll mit Touristen. Es lohnt sich aber auf jeden Fall. Glasklares Wasser, heller Sand und frische Fische.

Shark Bay
Tourist attraction
😐 This is a great attraction especially if you are into wildlife and aquatic life. It is a long and bumpy ride to get to the area allocated for shark viewing. It is not a main stream activity so there is no cafe/bar/restaurant on site just local entrepreneurs selling their wares. You have to walk over...

Shell Cemetery Beach
Tourist attraction
👍 Shell cemetery beach is made up of discarded conch shells by fishermen after they have removed the edible flesh. It covers a wide area along the beach.
The beach itself is not really suitable for swimming as the water is very rough and there are numerous stones which makes it a bit difficult to wal...

Pelourinho
Historical landmark
🫤 The place is at a nice spot and food is decent.
However, they took more than 1h to serve us, it was full of flies and they did not have any dessert.

Quinta Da Montanha
Hotel
👍👍 We just wanted to take a short break here after the hike up the "Peak of Antonia" mountain. As a welcome we had a nice conversation with the owner.
The restaurant and especially the terrace are very welcome. In the middle of the slope. A view across the valley.
We wanted to take a "Collectivo" bac...

Terra Boa
Tourist attraction
😐 This is a location on Sal Cape Verde where it's actually possible to see the visual illusion of a mirage in the desert. The ground is very flat and when the sun hits the horizon it tricks your brain into believing there are pools of water which obviously do not actually exist.

Fogo National Park
National park
👍👍 Es lohnt sich wirklich, den Fogo Nationalpark mit der Caldera, dem Rand der Caldera und vielleicht auch dem Pico do Fogo zu besuchen. Von São Filipe gibt es Sammel-Taxis und natürlich auch geführte Touren zur Caldera. Dort oben kann man viel über Vulkanismus lernen, geführte Wanderungen unternehmen....

Dune of Sal
Tourist attraction
👍 Stunning beach with private parasols and sun beds. In the summer months you can watch turtles hatch and make their way to the sea. Unfortunately, because of the island tidal currents you can only rarely swim on the beaches. Although beautiful and the waters are clear and warm you may not actually ge...

Presidential Palace
Tourist attraction
😐 Die Kapverden sind touristisch noch nicht richtig spannend. Das Wetter ist beneidenswert aber für Touristen sind die Inseln nicht wirklich interessant.

Praça da Povoação Velha
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Very small village in Cape Verde. We came through on quads. Local people are nice. Spoke with a few of them. Very nice. Great shop with good choice of souvenirs. Not too much to do, but nice to see a village and how they live.

Lighthouse Dona Maria Pia
Historical landmark
😠 Leuchtturmwärter gab eine kleine Führung und war sehr nett. Er wollte aber auf einmal Geld haben, hatte vorher aber keinesfalls das erwähnt. Ich finde das eine seltsame Masche. Dann sollte er klar machen, dass das Geld „“kostet und nicht die Besucher nach dem wirklich kleinen Rundgang vor vollendete...

Praia Santa Mónica
Scenic spot
👍👍 Can't disagree with other positive comments, this is the prime example of fantastic beach. Unspoilt and beautiful, with amazing views all around. The sand dunes are fun. Hope it won't deteriorate with the rise of tourism.
