The Islands |

The third island in the chain
is the eastern desert island of Maio. As opposed
to Sal and Boavista, Maio remains a destination
still fully ignored by the large tourist currents
which – due to its poor transit connections
and a more humble hotel infrastructure –
will have a hard time adjusting itself to the
rhythm of its two northern neighbouring islands.
However, this may very well
be one of the plus points that Maio offers. Its
visitors consist of hardcore individualists and
genuine downshifters who consider Maio something
of an Eldorado in their search for quiet and seclusion. |

| Wide beaches and a mountainous,
multifaceted landscapes make Maio an island of
stillness - unspectacular and meditative. The
hospitality of the inhabitants and their spontaneous
will to help are contagious and whoever visits
Maio after having visited Sal will quickly notice
the difference in mentality between the inhabitants
of the two islands. |
