About
Santa Maria, on the sun-drenched island of Sal in Cabo Verde, is where the pulse of African rhythms meets the laid-back charm of island life. The town is a tapestry of colorful streets, where the aroma of freshly grilled seafood mingles with the saltiness of the ocean breeze. Visitors here can feel the sand between their toes as they stroll along the endless beaches, or they can lose themselves in the hypnotic sway of live music that fills the air from local bars and cafes. Santa Maria is a place for those who long for a slower pace, where soaking up the sun is an art form and every sunset is a spectacle.
