There is more to Quirimba Island, Ilha de Quirimbas in Portuguese, than pristine white sand beach and 65,000 coconut palms. This small island was the first capital of the archipelago that bears it name. And while little remains of Quirimbas' colonial architecture it is a great island to roam and discover. Weave tales of Arab maritime merchants plowing the seas in colorful dhows. Tell stories of locals weaving Maluane cloth by hand. And help the kids to imagine the struggle between the Arabs and Portuguese for this tiny piece of land.
