Sal
Sal is a fairly flat, bare, almost desert-like island of rock, sand and salt, but with numerous white sand beaches. Sal is to rest, sunbathe and (especially) to enjoy the sea. You can great wind and kite surfing, but also diving, snorkeling, swimming, sailing, deep sea fishing (local fishermen) or sea turtles and whale watching. Sailboats and yachts for hire, with or without crew. And there are bicycles for rent. The hotels (and resorts) are predominantly (relatively) luxurious and expensive, but cheaper pensions can also be found online.
In the town of Santa Maria are terraces and a fairly large choice of restaurants, often with live music. In this town you will find well over Cape Verdeans foreigners. Landscape perspective is not attractive for walkers, this Cape Verdean island but for so-called desert safaris by jeep or quad bike, and you can visit the ancient salt pans. Take enough water and a hat against the sun with it.
Boavista
Boavista is a hilly island: dry desert interspersed with oases, dunes and (empty) beaches. The luxurious beach tourism is starting to come but there are still villages and parts that are not touristy. At the Cape Verdean island you will find a combination of rest, beach and sea with short, scenic hikes and / or kite and wind surfing (www.boavistawindclub.com) is possible. You can also fish and whales, sea turtles, coral and bird watching.
São Vicente
Mindelo, the capital of São Vicente, is a port city with bars, restaurant (you) s and some squares on which play a large part of social life. The nightlife of Cabo Verde is set here. Especially in summer, there is live music on the street, swinging or melancholy (the morna) with African and Portuguese influences. Every year this massive carnival celebrated and held a large, single-day festival in August.
To live with this, you timely flight to Cape Verde have reservations. The island has a dry climate and seems out of town, on a lunar landscape in the azure ocean. You can visit small villages, make a special coastal walk or enjoy the sea in a small bay.
Santo Antão
Santo Antão is one of the largest, greenest and, to be honest, most beautiful islands of the achipel. Varied and with some crazy roads and trails along the coast and between scherpgekartelde mountains. You see banana, orange and papaya trees, sugar cane and coffee plants, but also barren, dry mountain slopes, the sunlight reflecting, and overlooking the ocean. In short, a paradise for adventurous hikers.
Not walking? You can use a bus offers trips, enjoying the view and occasionally stop in the colorful villages for something to eat or drink, or to see a grogue distillery. Can dive or snorkel too (in Ponto do Sol is a diving school), like fish (Vila das Shaft), horse riding, climbing, canyoning and mountain biking. The island is only accessible by ferry, from Mindelo, São Vicente.
São Nicolau
Lower than Santo Antão, but very varied, with both dry lunar landscapes as groenoverwoekerde mountains. There is little tourism; São Nicolau is perhaps the most authentic island, with very friendly people. And with roads winding through vistas, explore by aluguer (collective taxi). In Ribeira Grande, the small capital, you walk through narrow streets to the main square and near Tarrafal, the harbor, you'll find black lava beaches by the sea. You can also go horseback riding. Or the sea with local fishermen hunting for tuna, mackerel and squid.
Santiago
The 500 year old Cidade Velha (Old Town). Praia, capital of Cape Verde, rich in UNESCO World is Santiago In the capital you will also find two museums (sometimes) live music and restaurants. Furthermore, Santiago of everything but not as extreme. There are mountains, not high, usually brown and bare, with occasional green slope. 'Feels' Of all the islands of Santiago is most like Africa, especially by the residents themselves, such as women with colorful cloths around their waists they carry groceries and / or baby.
In the north Tarrafal, a town with a few guesthouses, a small beach, coconut palms, simple bungalows by the sea plus, more recently, luxury apartments on the ocean. Is In the interior, the dreamy Rui Vaz (with hotel) is a good base for hiking. Also you can in two days round the island by (rental) car. You can also laze around, swimming, snorkeling, diving and fishing.
Fogo
Fogo is one big volcano 2829 meters from the ocean rises up, for through clouds, very impressive. And with one steep and one more sloping flank. . To the base of the crater, Cha das Caldeiras, you both on foot and by bus. After the last eruption, in 1995, smoldering, in addition to the large crater a smaller crater still occur. Both are to be reached by foot.
Roundtrip Cape Verde - Fogo Island
Whatever may Fogo: caving, Fogowijn drink (made from the grapes that grow here) go into town São Filipe visits (in terms of atmosphere and style other than the cities on the other islands, you can stay one night here, fishing with boat, visit a water project, set up by the Dutch foundation Water for Life. And white beaches that are not there.
Maio
The forgotten island. Small and only accessible from Praia (Santiago) by plane, with a beautiful beach, a fine coastline, few roads and some hills. But no more. Actually it is an old volcano, dissolved in the wind. Tourists come here hardly, but there are already plans for a luxury resort. Two guest houses in the village of Vila de Maio and on the beach, ten kilometers away, is a larger hotel, far from civilization wereld.Kortom: who really is a place where there is nothing to do, looking for can now stop doing. Fly to Maio and go sit on a bench.
Brava
Small island with volcanic craters, bizarre rocks, and black beaches. Only accessible by boat, but the boat connection to Fogo often falls out, sometimes for several months. In short, very quiet. Readers who go to Brava, had better have a good relationship with the person who goes home care for the plants.
Sal
Sal is a fairly flat, bare, almost desert-like island of rock, sand and salt, but with numerous white sand beaches. Sal is to rest, sunbathe and (especially) to enjoy the sea.
