Cabo Verde

Overview
Island hopping in Cabo Verde means small planes or boats and give enough time as both can get delayed. Santo AntΓ£o draws hikers, while Sal gets beach lovers. The music scene in Mindelo makes the trip worth it and roads twist up mountains and down to beaches. Hotels run from simple to fancy. Fish comes straight from the sea to your plate. Learn a few words of Creole – it helps with meeting locals.
