Highlights
- Santa Maria - The Spinach Tours route passes through several tourist attractions on the island of Sal, starting in Santa Maria.
- Ponta do Sino - Ponta do Sinó is located at the southern tip of the island. It’s a place dedicated to protecting beaches and is like a five-star resort for our shelled friends, turtles and an authentic convention of local and migratory birds. The picturesque lighthouse offers stunning views of the island and the Atlantic Ocean.
- Morabeza Lobby Bar - In 1967, Belgian industrialists and engineers Georges Vynckier and Marguerite Massart opened Cape Verde’s first resort hotel called Morabeza. It is still standing as a functioning hotel today. The word Morabeza also means hospitality, affability and kindness and is a local term used loosely to describe the general tradition of welcoming on the island of Sal.
- The Pier of Santa Maria - The Santa Maria beach pier has become something of a cultural landmark. Here you can buy freshly caught fish, listen to local singers, see artist exhibitions or even dive directly into the crystal clear waters.
- Mercado Municipal De Santa Maria - This is where you can get in touch with things made the old-fashioned way, talk to the locals, support Salense artisans and leave a little happier.
- Salina - One of the salt mines is here, and the other is near Pedra de Lume, to the north of the island. Here, salt is collected by evaporation of water! Back in the day, around 1830, Santa Maria was all about the salt production scene. Up to 30,000 tons were produced per year!
- Island kite school - The island of Sal is a world-famous destination for windsurfing and kitesurfing. There are several schools around here willing to let you use the wind to speed over the waves and fall in love with one of these incredible sports.
- Pachamama Eco Park - Viveiro Botanical Garden - At Pachamama Ecopark, it is possible to enjoy the colors, shapes and aromas of the Flora of Cape Verde, surrounded by animals that live in a harmonious shelter. Fun fact: Pachamama Ecopark started out producing grass for nearby golf courses and only had a donkey and two goats as resident animals. Nowadays, more than 300 animals live here.

Don't walk under the sun, take a spinach car! - The staff is very friendly, the booking process it's easy, all was ready when arrived at the shop. Even though the roads in Santa Maria are a bit bumpy the car is quite comfortable. The information that is given during the tour gives you a good overview of the history of the island without being boring. It's the best way to know Santa Maria without having to take a long and boring walking tour.
