Palmeira, Sal, Cape Verde

Proceeding with the tour around Sal's island lets make way and head to the city of Palmeira. The main port of the island is located there and its marina is most certainly one of the local attractions worthy of a visit.

Another thing for what I call your attention, is for the curious architecture of Sal's towns and villages. Like in the capital Espargos, the majority of the houses and city structures are small and very colorful. A good example of what I'm saying is again the local market, similar the one in the capital, it mantains both the size and the "happy" color choice - here instead of green, a combination of red and yellow.

Still about the market, one word of advice - if you're not prepared to negotiate prices, don't even think in passing close to its door. Although they sell there most of the island typical souvenirs one must possess good negotiation skills in order to strike a good bargain.

Finally, and before we continue to the natural pools of Buracona I'll leave you with another great example of Palmeira's colorful environment: the walls of the grocery store. In fact, if you're not certain on which way to take to our next stop, I'm sure these walls will help you :)
