Sal Rei em Boa Vista

Sal Rei, the capital of Boa Vista 


Sal Rei, the capital of Boa Vista, is situated in the northwest of the island and is often the primary destination for visitors, with most hotels conveniently located nearby.

Exploring Sal Rei offers a perfect blend of leisure, mingling with the rhythms of Cape Verdean music (known as morna), and the discovery of deeply rooted traditions embraced by the warm and welcoming local population.

Begin your journey in Sal Rei, where salt was once the reigning industry. In the 18th century, salt was an essential resource for both humans and the regional economy. The remnants of salt flats that still exist serve as a testament to Boa Vista's golden age, a time of significant demographic and economic growth. The island's desirability even attracted pirates who roamed these Atlantic waters. As a result of these threats, the small islet just off the coast became the home of the ancient Forte do Duque de Bragança, a military structure built to exercise the necessary and cautious surveillance. Today, the allure of the area lies in its breathtaking waters, teeming with marine life and offering sublime underwater landscapes that delight visitors. The region benefits from an expansive and shallow platform, extending seamlessly to the neighboring islands of Sal to the north and Maio to the south.

Sal Rei also provides an opportunity to immerse yourself in the unmistakable colonial architecture that reflects the passing of time. The picturesque streets showcase the town's unique blend of European and Cape Verdean influences, offering a glimpse into the evolution of architectural styles over the years.

A small Jewish cemetery, located near the Marine Club hotel, stands as a precious relic that reminds us of the thriving community that once settled here, exerting a significant influence on the island's social and economic life. The cemetery's presence adds to the town's multicultural tapestry and serves as a testament to the island's historical connections with various communities.

As you wander through Sal Rei, take in the charming colonial buildings and streets filled with life. Experience the fusion of cultures, explore the vibrant streets, and sample the local cuisine at the town's eateries where flavors from all corners of the globe unite.

Sal Rei invites you to embrace its unique heritage, from its colonial past to the influences of diverse communities that have shaped its identity.
