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.
