Brains Cave
up 10 minutes of boat ride from Playa San Juan, there is a cavern built into the shore with two halls (left and right) just 12 meters deep. The one on right goes a bit further, but the one on left has a hole in the ceiling that brings light into the cavern.
There is a fascinating brain-looking sponge (Corallistes nolitangere) that can only be found between Portugal and Cape Verde in caves with fresh water access.
