Maio is the easternmost of the Sotavento islands of Cape Verde. The small island is famous for its squeaky clean beaches and a relaxed, almost dazed way of life. Maio is dotted with small picturesque fishing villages, like Calheta to the north. These are definitely worth a visit. However, the main purpose of a visit here, should be to relax and unwind on one of the many beautiful unspolit beaches.

Sao Filipe is the capital city of Fogo Island in Cape Verde. It is located on the west coast of the island.

The city is clean and charming with its immaculate Portuguese houses and flowers growing all over the place. The black-sand beach at the base of the city's cliffs is as beautiful to look at as it is unsafe to use for swimming - the currents are strong and the waves are dangerously high.
