https://www.splashpacker.com/travel-information/cape-verde/sal-island-day-tour-in-cape-verde-sustainable-travel-things-to-do-in-santa-maria/The travel post has lots of useful information for a holiday to Sal Island, and also includes all the highlights and things to do in Santa Maria and on Sal in Cape Verde. Besides the travel blog post for Sal Island, I've also created several videos of Sal Island and other Cape Verdean videos. There are many short videos of Cape Verde in my shorts playlist, including the islands Sal, Boa Vista, São Vicente, and Santo Antão. But for your convenience, I'll add the longer videos here.Here's the video of the Sal Island day tour in Cape Verde:
