Maio Vacation Packages

The notable city of Praia stands 30 miles to the southwest of Maio.

Look out for sea birds and admire the striking views at Praia de Santa Monica. This section of coastline is 55 miles to the north.

This region has a fascinating past. You can learn all about it at Calheta.

Cheer along with local sports nuts at Estadio da Varzea, home to the Sporting Clube da Praia and CD Trovadores. To watch a game, just go 30 miles southwest to Praia. Afterwards, follow the stream of local sports fans to the nearby pubs to relive the match's greatest moments.

You may consider heading to Santa Cruz, just 25 miles away, or Sao Domingos, which is 25 miles away.

There's plenty to do out in the open while you're in Cape Verde. If you want to get up and at 'em, why not give mountain climbing or hiking a go?

The surrounding region boasts a number of calming outdoor activities. Shore fishing or sunbathing reportedly help reduce stress levels.

If the weather is good during your stay, get out and enjoy some water activities. Swimming and snorkeling are two much-loved local pastimes.

When the weather's right, why not take the opportunity to spend the day at the region's open-air markets?

If you want to truly understand Cape Verde, make sure you stop at its bars, cafés and restaurants.

You mightn't have paid much notice to the complexities of cabbage and tuna in the past, but you will no doubt be an expert on these beloved ingredients by the end of the trip!

Eat like the local people do by ordering catchupa (slow boiled stew) and carne gizado (stewed meat and vegetables).

End with papauya candy (sweet), a mouthwatering dessert.

Ponche (cocktail with brogue, lime and molasses) is what you should be ordering if you enjoy a strong drink.

Before you set off on your vacation, why not get to know a number of practical words and phrases in Portuguese? Olá means hello in Portuguese. Boa viagem! (have a nice trip) is also good to know.

If you're planning on being here on the 5th of July, you better be ready to party. Each year on this day, the whole country comes together to celebrate Independence Day.

As the final day of your vacation draws near, spend your remaining Cape Verdean escudos on last-minute keepsakes and bid Adeus to the people you've met and the beautiful places you've been.

If your plans include leaving by plane, take into account that the nearest airport is roughly 5 miles to the southwest.
