Salineiro

Salineiro is a small neighborhood in Cidade Velha known for its traditional salt flats, which have been harvested for centuries. Visitors can explore the shallow evaporation pans that glisten under the Cape Verdean sun, then cool off in nearby natural rock pools carved by the Atlantic. The area offers a glimpse into the island's salt trade history and a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path experience away from the main town center.
