Title: Santa Maria (Cape Verde)
Post by: Luc on February 10, 2025, 17:20:16: Not really a travel diary more a holiday one but I think the right place to post a series of images I shot during a week on Sal.
Sal itself is not a very attractive island. Its flat and barren. Lots of sand. In fact, sand only.
I wont bore you with pictures from the hotel where we stayed. I hope these pictures from a visit to the neighbouring village Santa Maria are more interesting.

All shot with a Ricoh GRIII camera.

Post by: ColinM on February 10, 2025, 20:50:21: I love the street art Luc.

The sea in the pics you took looks a bit calm for surfing (first street art pic)
But I'm sure there are some good breaks somewhere.

Thanks Akira. Yes, we are lucky to be able to visit more exotic places like these. It helps my wife works in the tourism industry :)
