When we arrived in Cape Verde after a 5 day passage down from the Canary Islands, it immediately felt like we’ve left known territory and a sense of “really traveling” set in.
The friendly people, amazing music and diverese landscapes from sandy beaches, steep cliffs, green valleys of the Cape Verdes surprised us and we can only recommend for any sailor to make the stop here to explore at least the bustling town of Mindelo and hike epic trails in Santo Antao.
