Welcome to Cape Verde

• Capital of Cape Verde: Praia
• Population of Cape Verde: 0.5 million - 52nd in Africa
• Size of Cape Verde: 4,033 km2 - 50th in Africa
• Languages in Cape Verde: Portuguese, Crioulo

The main islands of Cape Verde each offer something different, both in terms of natural wonders and cultural heritage. Descendants of Portuguese colonialists and African slaves, the locals mainly speak Creole and blend influences from Europe and Africa in their cuisine, music, and architecture. The largely unspoiled natural landscape includes mountain peaks, rugged cliffs, white-sand beaches, black-sand beaches, and wildflower-filled valleys. With the country experiencing a dry tropical climate, holidays in Cape Verde lend themselves to a range outdoor sports and activities, including windsurfing and lazing on a beach, hill walking, and diving.

Highlights

• On Sal - float in the dense briny lake in the Pedra de Lume collapsed volcano; drive through the desert marvelling at the mirages.
• On Santiago - visit the central market in Praia; wander round the pelhourinho (pillory) and old streets of Cidade Velha; the colonial prison at Tarrafal is being restored as a museum.
• On Mindelo - have a strange round of golf; visit a guitar maker; take a day-trip across to scenic Santo Antão.
• Discover the soulful songs of Cape Verde
