About Cape Verde
Mindelo, on São Vicente, is the cultural capital of the islands, a colourful port town famous for its music and its lively carnival. It was the home of the singer Cesária Évora, who brought the gentle songs called morna to audiences around the world.
On neighbouring Santo Antão, steep green mountains drop straight into the sea, and old cobbled paths such as the coastal trail at Ponta do Sol link villages clinging to the cliffs.
Flat, windy Sal is known for the salt crater of Pedra de Lume and the long white beach of Santa Maria, while the dunes of Boa Vista are made of sand blown across the sea from the Sahara. On Santiago, the largest island, fishermen launch their painted boats from the beach of Tarrafal.
