Hello everyone! This is @ybanezkim26 and I'll present today's edition of Travel Digest. In our featured posts, we have an island of Sal, Cabo Verde, the city of Florence, Italy, and the hills in Ajmer, India. Enjoy and keep on pinning your travel posts to the map!
Arriving in Sal by sea is an unforgettable experience, especially after a crossing from the Canary Islands. When you finally make out the island’s arid contours, sculpted by wind and sun, you realise you are dropping anchor in another dimension. Sal is often described as a burnt, minimalist, almost lunar land, but it is precisely this raw simplicity that gives it its unique charm. As you approach Palmeira, the island’s main port, you discover a lively, colourful and welcoming village that contrasts sharply with the harsh surrounding landscape.

When I think of Florence, the first image that comes to mind isn't the dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore or the crowded corridors of the Uffizi Gallery. Curiously, it's the Santa Trinita Bridge that appears in my mind. It may seem strange, because Florence is an open-air museum, but this bridge has something almost poetic that effortlessly captivates you.

Ajmer always attracts me. There is a different spirituality in the streets of this city, its air and its mountains. Recently I suddenly felt like going away from the crowd of the city and spending some moments in the silence of the hills. Just with that desire, I set out towards those high hills of Ajmer, where Gaus Pak Chilla is situated. While walking on the way, it felt as if the city was slowly being left behind and only the vast silence of the mountains and a slight cool breeze was welcoming me.
