CAPE
VERDE, ten islands suspended between Africa, America and Europe,
is a meeting
place of cultures, flavors
and colors that bring together former
colonies, tribal rhythms and
the liveliness of South America. The
archipelago, of volcanic origin, is 600 kilometers off
the coast of Senegal and each island has a distinct geographical character.
Sahara-like dunes and almost desolate moon landscapes
alternate with valleys and hills rich with vegetation.
Just a few
hours from Europe, with a negligible
time difference, Cape Verde offers a tropical climate
and temperatures all year round, a destination
off the beaten track for sun, water sports and hiking. |
