The name Boavista is readily understood when passing through here. It is a small village, where most of the houses are in an advanced state of dilapidation. The view, however, is good, pardon the pun, and you have a privileged panorama of the sea.

The highlight of this small town is the Arab-style market. Should not be missed.
