Never been but did think about it. I think there is one island which is more developed than the others. There was a relocation or place int he sun programme where someone wanted to buy there which was quite interesting to get and insight.

some info on here. Let me know how it is if you do go!

My aunt has an apartment out there but I've never been. From what she says, it's a bit of a pain to get to since direct flights are limited to non-existent and parts of it are a bit of a building site.


But... it is quiet, sunny and warm if you just want to chill.

This is the home of the barefoot goddess Cesaria Evora and the great Cape Verdean musical tradition, encompassing morna and other styles. Listen to CE's 'Sodade' and 'Angola', tho sadly the versions on Spotify are not the original and best, which are to be found on the fabulous CD 'Miss Perfumado'. Ah, even to mention it . . .


The islands are part of the Lusophone world (Brazil, Angola, etc) rather than Africa proper.


Tourism is increasing there, as are various second home and time-share developments, some doubtless more salubrious than others.


The islands are reasonably far apart on closer inspection. Many visitors take in, say, two or three, flying between. Some are more kiss-me-quick than others, some more arid, more populous, and so on.


Guardian Online has brilliant travel pages, blogs, etc which I know cover Cape Verde.

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
    • Wholeheartedly recommend Aria. He was polite, responsive and sorted our leak, from an old tap on an old plumbing system, with no bother and on same day. 
    • GP not willing to refer you on? Say, to King's or similar. Odd
