Day excursions to the sightseeing
features of the island, of which there are not
too many, but all of them well worth visiting.
First we travel in convoy with a local guide to
the village of Espargos, 7,000 inhabitants, near
to the international airport, where the island’s
government is located, and where you can see the
real, original side of Sal. Palmeira, the small
port of Sal, is just a stone’s throw from
Espargos. We then follow the dusty road on to
the Buracona Cave into which the sun shines vertically
through a small opening, providing a magnificent
view of the turquoise-blue sea.
The highlight of this tour
across the brown lunar landscape of the island
is Pedra de Lume. The salt-mine, which has been
idle for many years, has a nostalgic-looking cable
car from times gone by, and you can see wooden
transport facilities in decay and rusty cables
dangling in the wind. |
