A walk from Santa Maria to TUI Blue Cabo Verde

[@seawave34]

This is the central pedestrian street of Santa Maria..Wonder inland to the back streets to see the garbage littered dog infested streets ..Santa Maria is a dump and has become worse with growing mass tourism and the associated litter that brings..Paradise lost in my opinion..

Thanks for that perspective. We stuck to the main tourist area in Santa Maria so didn`t see the less salubrious areas, and as this was our first (and probably last time) on the island don`t know what it was like before.
