Beskrivelse

With its blend of African, Brazilian and Portuguese influences, Boa Vista's capital, Sal Rei, is a riot of colour. On this exclusive tour, you'll sample Cape Verdean specialities, visit markets vibrant with local life and enjoy a guided tour of the town's most interesting locations. Artur, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Sal Rei is Portuguese for Salt King, which tells you all you need to know about what the town was once famous for. You'll see salt pans around the capital, though most are no longer in use. Some around the fringes of town have even been built on.'

First up is a trip to the recently restored Fatima chapel – a windswept sanctuary with a beautiful simplicity on a rocky bluff just north of Sal Rei. From here, you can take in the views over the coast towards the capital. Next, we'll explore the island's past in both the Sea and Shipwreck Museums. Admire a collection of exhibits from underwater archaeological finds and artworks that reflect on the history, art and culture of the Cape Verdean people.

We dial the volume up a bit next with a visit to the market. Mingle with locals as you browse the handmade jewellery, clothing and fresh produce on display. Take a walk along Praia de Diante beach before trying Cape Verdean cocktails and tasty specialities at Sodade House of Culture. Finally, there's free time to explore this appealing little town at your own pace – visit the pretty church of St Isabel or head to one of Sal Rei's great beaches for a paddle or a coffee with a view.

    Guide Becky ist sehr sympathisch und macht ihren Job sehr gut. Beim sandboarding kann man zweimal ca. 20m das Hügelchen runter rutschen und das wars dann auch schon. Das lokale Essen war lecker. In der "Töpferei" wird leider nur Ton in Formen gepresst und mit sprühfarbe lackiert, leider keine echte Handarbeit oder kreative Einzelstücke. Der Stop am Santa monica beach war leider nur 30 Minuten, viel zu kurz um den schönen Strand zu genießen.

    Der Ausflug war gut abgestimmt, und interessant. Jedoch der Museumsbesuch wurde und Geschichte wurde in Englisch erklärt. Meine Mutter war sehr enttäuscht, 82 Jahre, auch anderere Teilnehmer. Deutsch , Fehlanzeige. Auch hier wieder die ständige Aufforderung Geld zu Weihnachten zu geben. Das ist sehr schade

    Hugo (guide) was rather inexperienced and needs training in order to give more information about the area ie interesting facts etc . He was however very polite and well-mannered. Fishing Museum was rather inept but Ship Wreck Museum was very interesting and Guide there was excellent. Not much to see/do when left for45 minutes to wander about prior to getting back on the minibus to return back to the Hotel

    I loved the complex the rooms were good staff were really helpful the food was excellent (great variety) the entertainment was a bit repetitive plus the ones who sang 1st were awful morbid. The team who danced and sang were the most hard working team I have ever watched well done. Mattress toppers would be a comfort for us oldies
