Maio
Overview
Development of land in Maio has started to expand
away from Porto Ingles (Vila do Maio). The area of Morro is getting lots
of attention and there is also development near Pedro Vaz and Calheta. The
new road on Maio is having a big impact.
There is
even talk of a new international airport on Maio. If
this goes ahead it will be a huge step forward for Maio.
Maio is a flat and sandy island with
beautiful beaches and a quiet peaceful existence.
Maio is served by a domestic airport, and by boats from the neighbouring
islands (Santiago mainly). Its close proximity to Santiago and Boa Vista makes up for the lack of
an international airport, but this may change.
Because of the small population, infrastructure and development have occurred
here at a significantly slower pace than on some of the other islands in Cape
Verde.
A new development agency has been set up
to oversee the development of Boa Vista and
Maio. The new body will be responsible for approving
planning permission, as well as encouraging the development of infrastructure.
