Sal, literally meaning salt in Portuguese, takes its name for the two large salt ponds that were discovered on the island by European explorers in 1460. Like much of the Cape Verde archipelago, Sal lay relatively dormant for much of the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, only to find fame in the 18th when savvy settlers capitalised on its eponymous mineral. By 1830 Sal had become a thriving salt industry, exporting up to 30,000 tonnes at day. Today, Sal is more known for its watersports than it seasoning. View more
