Nossa Senhora das Dores is the parish of Sal Island, Cape Verde, and covers the whole island, including the main town of Espargos and the resort town of Santa Maria at the southern tip. Santa Maria has a long white-sand beach and many resort hotels, and is a popular spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing.
