Itinerary

  1. Palmeira – Authentic Fishing Village on the Island of Sal Palmeira is a charming, traditional fishing village located on the west coast of the Cape Verde island of Sal. Away from the main tourist hubs like Santa Maria, Palmeira offers an authentic glimpse into the daily life of the locals. Colorful houses, small bars, friendly people, and a lively harbor characterize the village. The harbor of Palmeira is not only economically important but also an interesting spot for visitors: fishing boats dock here, and fresh fish is traded directly at the quay. In the surrounding area, natural saltwater pools and impressive rock formations along the coast invite visitors for a peaceful walk or a photo stop. A visit to Palmeira is worthwhile for anyone wanting to experience the real Cape Verde – far from mass tourism yet easily accessible. It’s ideal for a half-day trip or a stop on an island tour.

About Santa Maria

Santa Maria, on the southern tip of Sal in Cape Verde, is a beach town of pale sand, steady Atlantic wind and a fishing pier.

Santa Maria occupies the southern tip of Sal, a flat, dry island in the Cape Verde archipelago off the coast of West Africa. Sal means salt in Portuguese, a nod to the salt pans once worked here for export. The sandy streets of Santa Maria, lined with pastel houses, lead down to a long beach and a pier where local fishermen sell their catch.
