Santo Antão is Cabo Verde’s most diverse island, with walking paths scaling dry cliffs by the sea and lush valleys not 1 kilometer away. This is from the walking trail that connects the towns of Cruzinha and Ponta do Sol #capeverde #caboverde #cvtravel #pontadosol #hiking #mykneeshateme
Cidade Velha, or Ribeira Grande de Santiago, was the first European city established in the tropics in 1460. It was settled by the Portuguese to serve as a logistics center for the slave trade between Africa and the Americas. It has been in constant decline since the capital of Cabo Verde was moved to Praia in 1770. This beautiful harbor and the city are now being renovated thanks to @unesco, @exteriores.maec, and the government of #caboverde #capeverde #cidadevelha #instatravel #instaafrica #unesco #patrimoniomundial #worldheritage
Santo Antão, Cabo Verde, played an important role in the discovery of the Americas.
