Tour Highlights

We’ll meet at the iconic Morabeza Hotel, the first accommodation ever built on Sal Island. Once everyone has gathered, we’ll kick off our tour through Santa Maria.

Our journey begins with a stroll down the vibrant main street, lined with lively bars, restaurants, and charming souvenir shops. Next, we’ll head to the North zone to see and talk about the first houses that were built in the city.

The tour continues with a visit to the bustling Municipal Market and a stop at the Municipal Fountain, where locals still collect water for homes without running services.

Afterward, we’ll step back in time at the Salt Museum, uncovering the fascinating history of the salt industry that gave the island its name. Finally, we’ll head to the famous Pontao de Santa María, where we’ll wrap up the tour.

Finally, after 3 hours of exploring, learning, and enjoying Santa Maria, we'll say our goodbyes and wrap up the tour.
