Sao Vincente © www.caboverde.com

Voices and volcanic mountains characterise this, the most sophisticated island of the Cape Verde archipelago. It is the home of well-known singer, Cesária Évora, renowned as the 'barefoot diva'. The vibrant port city, Mindelo, is also famed for its annual Brazilian-style carnival and its year-round lively nightlife. The island boasts beautiful beaches, too, particularly the Baia das Gatas lagoon that has been formed by volcanic activity, and the long, sandy stretch of Sao Pedro beach, sought out by windsurfers.
