Cape Verde Guide
Cape Verde
Beautiful beaches and an excellent climate welcome visitors to the volcanic islands of Cape Verde, some 570 kilometres from the West Africa mainland off Senegal.
The islands provide an impressive range of landscapes - old lava flows, sparse plains, green valleys and lofty peaks. Sal, Boa Vista and Miao are flat, sandy islands to the east. The west offers shows more of the volcanic origins.
Boa Vista and Sal boast the largest of the hotels, including the huge Club Hotel Riu properties - big in luxury and rooms. While the southern, leeward islands account for the most of the population, wealth and rain, the pick of the scenery is found at San Antao and Sao Nicolau.
History has left a culture with influences from Africa, Latin America, Caribbean and Portugal - reflecting both its location and involvement in slavery. Cape Verde was used as a trading post in the slave trade from 1600 all the way into the 1840s, some years after the formal abolition.
