The lady Maria Correia was born on Príncipe, as a daughter of a brazilian imigrant and a mulata. Because of the energic and dynamic way of leading her slaves, she is remembered on Príncipe Island with respect by ones and fear by others. Like other plantations on the island, Maria Corria is now in ruins, except for the main house where the lady lived.
During the walk, we pass by Praia Caixão and Lapa, where lives a small fishermen community. This excursion is the best way to discover the Agulhas Bay.
