Mindelo

Cabo Verde: Tourist Information

"The #1 Cape Verde travelblog, with thousands of readers..."

 

Cabo Verde's cultural capital lies on the bay of Porto Grande, generally seen as one of the most beautiful in the world. The city was only the last to be permenantly habited out of the nine habited islands, but today Mindelo is the second biggest city in the country after the capital, Praia.

Mindelo was the home of Cape Verde's 'queen' Cesaria Evora. The city receives visitors from all over the world who come to enjoy traditionial Cape Verdean music such as Morna and Coladeira. The city's annual Carnival is the biggest in the country, and turns the city into 'Brazilim' (little Brazil) for a week, attracting more and more cultureseekers from all over the world.

 

But the city has much more to offer than it's cultural nightlife. Enjoy Laginha, Mindelo's city beach, hike to Monte Verde, visit the fishmarket or go for a walk down Avenida Marginal to see an amazing sunset.
