About Cape Verde

Cape Verde is a volcanic archipelago formed by ten islands, nine of which inhabited, and eight islets, reaching a total surface of 4033 km². Located at 445km off the west coast of Africa, its 510.000 inhabitants are well known for their 'morabeza', a word that transmits the best these paradise islands can offer.

Cape Verde homes a variety of musical styles due to the mixture of various European and African music forms: morna – worldwide popularized by the eternal diva, Cesária Évora – batuque, funaná, mazurka, and tabanca are the most popular music styles.

The climate is tropical dry with two main seasons: the dry season, between November and July, and the wet season, from August to October. The average annual temperature swings around 25º C, which makes Cape Verde a 365-day sunshine country with beautiful, sunny beaches. With a privileged location in the middle of the world and close to Europe, America and Africa, these small grains of land are your ideal holiday destination.

The official language is Portuguese, but people usually speak Capeverdean Creole, a mother-tongue to be proclaimed Cape Verde’s official language. Each island has its own Creole variety.

To the south you can find the Leeward Islands of Maio, Santiago, Fogo and Brava. There are two types of islands according to the relief: flat islands surrounded by long and wide beaches Sal, Boavista and Maio and the high, contrasted mountain islands Santo Antão, Santiago, Fogo, San Vicente, San Nicolau and Brava where you can see black sand beaches.
