Sal’s Hospitals, Clinics and Pharmacies: Useful Notes
Whether you are on the island as a tourist or resident, it’s good to have up-to-date information on the nearest health centres and pharmacies. Health is a primary value, and it is crucial to protect it and to be able to get help quickly and efficiently in the event of illness or accident. I had the opportunity to visit almost all of the local clinics when I fell ill a few weeks after arriving on the island, and I still remember how much stress it caused me to search for information with a fever. Therefore, in this article, I tried to gather all the information on the island’s private and public health centres and pharmacies.
Spanish Shipwreck on The Beach of Boa Vista Island
Praia de Atalanta is a beach on the north coast of the island of Boa Vista, approximately 6 km northeast of the island capital of Sal Rei and 3 km west of Vigía. On its sandy beach stands the old, dark and corroded shipwreck. It’s a Spanish cargo ship named Cabo Santa Maria, which ran aground on September 1, 1968. Salty water and winds of the Atlantic took over that steel giant, slowly eroding and breaking it down.
The shipwreck’s corroded body became the icon of Praia da Atalanta, inspiring painters and writers.
