Very nice visit and I recommend hiring the local tour guide to walk you through the fort and explain the history of the area.

The camp is a very evocative and oppressive place. It's deliberately hot, and you can easily imagine how awful it was for the prisoners. There is now interpretation interspersed throughout the prison buildings. You learn about the different phases of the prisons use, the awful conditions, particular politicians and doctors who terrorised the inhabitants and everyday life. There are a few artefacts linked to the camp and most powerfully, photographs of the prisoners. We struggled to get an alguer back to Tarrafal waiting by the camp but very quickly got one waiting by the roadside.

Visited the church while in Sal We were there for the Sunday morning service It Was beautiful with the the kids singing and the adult choir The priest spoke in different languages and made everyone very welcome. The church is open all day but if you can make the Sunday service it is well worth seeing It was very busy and had people sitting outside for the service Take some money as a collection is made to help with the church funds
