💰 How far does your money go?
A francesinha in Porto now costs €13-15. On Sal, a plate of cachupa, the national stew of corn, beans and fish or meat, costs €6-8 at a local restaurant, a bottle of Strela beer about €2.50 and a fresh tuna steak on the pier in Santa Maria around €10. The aluguer, the shared minibus, between Santa Maria and Espargos costs about €1.
☀️ The Weather
January is dry and sunny on Sal. Expect highs of about 25°C, nights around 19°C and almost no rain. The sea is around 22°C and the trade winds blow steadily all month, which makes Santa Maria one of the best places in the Atlantic for kitesurfing.
