Maio Island
Maio Island is the easternmost of the Leeward Islands of Cape Verde, being one of the flatest and oldest in the archipelago.
Maio Island is located south of the Boavista Islands and east of Santiago. The island is known for its white sandy beaches and large forest, which is unusual for Cape Verde.
The island has some surprises such as the extensive natural saline between the aerodrome and the main town, Porto Inglês village, in the southwest. The locality of Barreiro, for the picturesque colors of their home, is worth visiting. The very humid northeast is more fertile, with vegetable fields, which in rainy times supply the capital; but its inhabitants are mainly engaged in fishing and cattle raising.

Gastronomy
The local gastronomic specialty is "Caldeirada de Peixe", served with grouper and lobster.
In Cape Verdean cuisine, we highlight the May cheese, which is a pure goat cheese, which is still appreciated today for its peculiar flavor, compared to goat cheese from Boavista, S. Antão or Fogo.
It is served for breakfast as a protein source, in dessert, in slices, accompanied with papaya jam, marmalade or guava, or in the form of cheese pudding, a specialty of Cape Verdean cuisine.
