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.
