Cape Verde Holidays At Late Deals
Unspoilt Landscapes And A Tropical Climate...
Cape Verde holidays give you the chance to experience an up and coming destination with relatively unspoilt landscapes.
Nestling off the West African coastline, Cape Verde is a group of 10 islands offering excellent beaches, a tropical climate and stunning landscapes. Cape Verde holidays provide an ideal year round destination. Peak temperatures usually stretch to 30°, and with around a 6 hour flight from the UK you can have the exotic beaches and scenery of the Caribbean, without the long flight.
Culinary Delights And Excellent Surfing Conditions...
Holidays to Cape Verde offer a strong blend of Portuguese and African influence, still visible in its culinary taste today, with seafood a speciality and often cooked on barbeques straight from the sea. One of the best excursions is to take a boat ride around the islands, discovering Fago, with its live volcano, Boa Vista with its desert like qualities of shifting sand dunes and swaying palm trees, Santiago; a world heritage site and the first European settlement in the tropics, or Sal with its eerie yet fascinating salt mines hidden in the dormant volcano. Holidays in Cape Verde offer some of the best windsurfing waters in the world as the warm winds wafting over from the Sahara, create some excellent surf.
Traditional Nightlife And Diverse Islands...
Nightlife in Cape Verde is quite low key and mainly consists of traditional live music known as “morna”, a kind of lilting folk music, although the tempo is sometimes raised by the tango or salsa beat. The shopping is quite muted too with markets and craft shops being the main attraction.
Most of the islands are accessible by ferry with airports at Sal, Santiago and Boa Vista. The islands of Cape Verde differ quite a great deal, with some being baron and desert like while others are lush and green. Whichever part of Cape Verde you choose to visit, you are guaranteed a laid back holiday in still relatively quiet and unspoilt islands. Cape Verde holidays are available online at Late Deals.
