Sights
Ponta da Salina is a headland close to the village. There is a small natural harbour and a bay with basalt rock formations, one of which looks like a natural arch. There are some natural swimming pools and a dark sand beach where swimming is possible if the sea is not too rough.Reitmaier, Pitt: Cabo Verde, p.391. Bielefeld 2009. There is a sightworthy old cemetery, which is surrounded by a wall, close to the beach.Lipps, Susanne: Kapverdische Inseln, p.256. Ostfildern 2009. Most of the graves have very simple wooden crosses without any names.
