About the Island of Sal, Cape Verde

Cape Verde is an archipelago located off the west coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean. 30km long and 12km wide, Sal has become the most popular tourist destination in Cape Verde and offers the best night life and water sport opportunities. The charming town of Santa Maria at its southernmost tip is the main tourist resort, with beachside restaurants, fascinating shops, and a lovely town square with local musicians playing Cape Verdean classics. Other attractions include the town of Espargos with its variety of shops, bars and restaurants, the salt flats of Pedra de Lume and the port town of Palmeria.

History of Cape Verde

The rich and fascinating history of Cape Verde begins in 1456 when Portuguese seafarers discovered the Islands and founded Ribeira Grande on the Island of Sao Vicente. This was the first European influenced town in the tropics. At this time the slave trade was booming and settlers quickly imported slaves from West Africa.

With its excellent year long sunshine, political stability, easy access to Europe, warm clear seas, stunning scenery and beautiful white sandy beaches, Cape Verde presents an excellent investment opportunity, for both capital growth and rental yields.”
