We travelled to Cape Verde in March 2015 over the Easter Break in order to celebrate a birthday, and get some much needed rest and relaxation, away from the stresses of London life.
The island has plenty to offer for all tourists: friends, families and couples. Cape Verde is often referred to as the 'African Carribbean', it has white long sandy beaches, turquoise sea and a relaxed feel.
The weather is warm and sunny all year round and only experiences a very occasional afternoon of rain during the “wet” season in August/September. Locals have quoted that in fact it only rains 2-3 days throughout the whole year. Further, the islands are on the same latitude as the Caribbean, but experience no hurricanes.
Long white sandy beaches and warm crystal clear waters (21 to 26 degrees) are a haven for relaxing, water sports and big game fishing, as well as a nesting ground for loggerhead turtles and home to humpback whales.
We both love travelling and experiencing new cultures and we thought the island of Sal was a fantastic holiday hotspot. The next thing we knew we were looking at holiday homes….
We are thoroughly passionate about the place, its people and its potential. We are happy to give you any tips for restaurants or things to do whilst in Sal.
Happy Holidays!
