In some regions of this very low relief shore line, like Pemba (ancient Port Amelia) or the Mozambique Island, a coral barrier has formed with the typical underwater fauna and flora of that Ocean, immortalized by the divers who have visited the Seychelles or Mauritius Islands. As in all the films in the series, the Sea is the central subject. But in this country it is most interesting to observe the intermix and crush of cultures so different as the African, the Arabic, the Indian, and more recently the Portuguese. The Island of Mozambique is the place where this mixture has its highest point, not only as far is anthropology is concerned but also in its architecture. Written by
