Welcome to Cape Verde

Welcome to Cape Verde, a sun-soaked Atlantic archipelago where African rhythms meet Portuguese charm. Scattered off the coast of West Africa, its ten islands each offer a distinct personality: from volcanic peaks and lunar landscapes to golden beaches and lively coastal towns. Whether you’re chasing adventure, music, or pure relaxation, Cape Verde greets you with year-round warmth and a laid-back island spirit.

Culinary culture

Food here reflects the islands’ cultural blend and seafaring past. Freshly caught tuna, lobster, and grouper dominate menus, often served with spicy marinades. The national dish, cachupa, is a slow-cooked stew of corn, beans, and meat or fish, rich in flavour and island pride. Pair your meal with a glass of grogue, the local sugarcane spirit, or fresh tropical juices bursting with papaya and mango.

Good to know:

The official currency is the Cape Verdean escudo, though euros are widely accepted. With steady trade winds, the islands are a year-round destination, though winter months are best for water sports. Inter-island travel is possible by short flights or ferries, ideal for those eager to explore beyond one shore.
