Cape Verde – The African Caribbean

Cape Verde, sometimes known as the African Caribbean, is a group of 10 islands (9 inhabited) found in the Atlantic. It is situated approximately 600km west of Senegal and south of the Canaries. It is still widely known as Cape Verde, however the official name is the Portuguese version – Cabo Verde. This country has remained relatively below the radar until recently however, the islands have a lot to offer visitors. Flights to Cape Verde are under 7 hours from the UK and much of Europe and yet they are still untouched by the masses. There is a lot to do – turtle watching, whale watching, surfing, kite surfing, swimming, diving, dancing, hiking and entertainment with a taste of Africa. Each island offers something different above all beautiful beaches, lush forests, mountains and deserts all in a tropical climate. The people are friendly and speak Portuguese and Creole. Music, dancing and the arts are important to Cape Verdeans.
