Cape Verde cruises

Sitting some 500 km off the west coast of Africa, Cape Verde is an isolated little world of its own, consisting of a series of islands, with its own unique landscape and culture that fuses African and Portuguese elements. For most visitors, the natural charms of Cape Verde are the main attraction, with the island of Boa Vista being a popular nesting site for turtles between the months of July and October. If it’s culture and civilisation you’re looking for, Mindelois the place to head to, with this charming port town providing an oasis of human activity amid the imposing natural surroundings. Old buildings dating back to the period of colonial rule provide an excellent insight into Cape Verde’s past, while the fishing boats that navigate their way in and out of the harbour offer a taste of the local lifestyle.
