Be mindful of noise levels, particularly in residential areas, and be respectful of local traditions and customs.

  • What are the best areas to spend a week in Cabo Verde?

    A week allows for island hopping! Sal offers beautiful beaches and water sports, while Santo Antão provides dramatic landscapes for hiking. Combining these two islands offers a great balance of relaxation and adventure. Alternatively, exploring São Vicente with its cultural attractions in Mindelo and then relaxing on the beaches of São Nicolau would also be a memorable experience.
