"The African Soul, History and Natural Contrasts"

O wyspie

Santiago is the largest island in the archipelago and home to the country's capital, Praia. It is the historical and cultural heart of Cape Verde, where the African heritage is felt with greatest intensity. Between steep mountains and green valleys, you will find some of the country's most stunning bays, highlighting the paradisiacal Tarrafal beach.

Wskazówka eksperta

"In Tarrafal, have dinner at a small beachside restaurant and taste the charcoal-grilled fresh fish caught that day by local fishermen landing their colorful boats right in front."
