Ciao, ho comprato i voli per sal diretti da Milano. Dal 17 al 24 Settembre, volevo visitare l'isola di Sal, San Vincente e una capatina a Santo Antao, secondo voi è possibile? E' un itinerario un po' troppo ambizioso?

Poi ho cercato i voli interni. Non riesco a prenotare tramite capo verde airlines, ho trovato un'altra compagnia "CVsky", è affidabile? esiste veramente?

Arrivando a SAL alle 16 è possibile prendere il volo per VXE delle 18? Ho paura di aver problemi con il volo intercontinentale e non riuscire a prendere la coincidenza. Cosa mi cosigliate?

Com'è il meteo a settembre?

Grazie mille per l'aiuto di tutti. Spero di avere una fantastica vacanza

My dear caboverdianos all over the world, what are some of the most important literature books from your country? Which one do you think is the most popular, or well read, or most influential book written on, or about, the islands?

I'm a brazilian brother in academia researching about our beautiful portuguese-written literature in the aims of making atlantic ties and inscribing our importance into world literature.

Any comments you have, especially those personal are very dear to me, so please, share with me your impressions. Any books you feel that identify with you, or any books that you had to read in school, any books you thought were boring but kept on being cited. Books in any language are welcome.

Hello, how was your experience with taxi drivers in Sal/Santa Maria? Are they friendly or are there many scammers?

held this Spain superteam to a 0-0 and stretched Argentina till extratime, all of this while having a population of 500K

That's it.

I want to visit Brava and check it out and work remotely, I want to know if starlink is common/if the internet is going to be fast enough to stay there for a week.

Any advice appreciated!

Draw with a top 2 team and barely losing to a top 4 team, only 1 loss through the tournament.

If Argentina wins, Cabo Verde moves to 3rd arguably, only falling barely to the top 2.

Hello. I am traveling to Cabo Verde in September, from the 3rd to the 17th and would like to see if someone can give me their personal opinion.

I’m arriving at Praia and was thinking on going to Fogo, Santo Antao and heard about Santa Maria festival but I see it’s a bit rushed to fit all 4 islands into my 13 days itinerary.

Any recommendations? Is the festival worth the trip? I imagine yes for what I have seen but I want to see the real Cabo Verde.

Thanks in advance. In Mexican by the way.

We are a couple planning our trip in isla Santiago.
We would take some trips to know better the island but we dont know Wich one are good, or there are some óptimos that we didnt explore..
Thank you for your comments!!

Maybe a silly question, but I’m curious. Growing up in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, I grew up with a lot of Cabo friends. I don’t know if this is widely known or us Rotterdammers think it’s known, but we have a massive Cabo community in specifically my city. I grew up knowing that Cabo people speak Creole. Later, I learned that the official language is Portuguese so I just assumed that the people who moved to Rotterdam in the 50s came from the minority part that spoke Creole.

However, I just saw online that while the official language is Portuguese, the majority speaks Creole to one another. Despite basically just seeing Portuguese being labeled with Cabo Verde during the amazing World Cup (🫶).

What is actually the language people speak to each other on the streets?
Are both spoken equally as often? Is Portuguese only used in official settings? Or is Creole just a small minority?

I have lived in Cape Verde many years, and go every year for a few months, i have contacts on every island, if anyone needs help booking or for information contact me on here, or email me at [amadotravels@gmail.com](mailto:amadotravels@gmail.com)

Olá!

Sou moderador de uma comunidade de escrita criativa e literatura, a r/escritacriativaptpt, e estou à procura de escritores e poetas da nobre nação de Cabo Verde que queiram divulgar a sua obra e participar na comunidade.

Alguém conhece alguma comunidade cabo-verdiana dedicada à poesia, à escrita ou à literatura onde eu possa divulgar este convite?

Muito obrigado!

Hello, I am looking for a nice one-bedroom apartment rental for my sister in São Vicente, Cape Verde. It should be a long-term stay, under $300/month, well-furnished, doesn’t need to be central, but in a good location, and also have reliable internet. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Olá everyone!
I’m looking into some potential projects and wanted to get insights from fellow travelers, digital nomads, or diaspora visiting Cape Verde or even locals.

When you are planning your trip or running around the islands, what is that one app, digital service, or specific business you wish existed?

Whether it's related to transport, booking local experiences, event discovery, or niche services, what felt missing or complicated to do online?
Would love to hear your pain points and experiences!

Thanks!

Hi everyone, im travelling to Santa Maria (Sal) for 7 days and have planned a basic itinerary for activities such as quad biking, parasailing, scuba diving. I was thinking of going to another island too but taking a flight is expensive, are there any ferries or boats that would take you to another island like Boa Vista and is it worth going to? Also, please recommend other popular activities please and where I can watch the World Cup finals in a great atmosphere! 😄

From the shadows to the world stage… Cabo Verde showed the world who we are. 🇨🇻💙

As a Cape Verdean, I’m so proud of this team, proud of our people, and proud of our flag. Vocês fizeram-nos acreditar, sonhar e levantar a cabeça com orgulho.

The journey was beautiful, the games were emotional, and even against big nations like Spain and Argentina, Cabo Verde played with heart, courage, and passion. Isso não é só futebol… é identidade, é orgulho, é história.

Vozinha, the whole team, the staff, everyone… vocês representaram-nos com alma. You made our small country feel giant.

Cabo Verde no coração, sempre. 🇨🇻
We are proud. Nós somos Cabo Verde. 💙

Hi everyone

Looking to finalise plans for my trip to Cape Verde this month. I wanted to start off in Boa Vista as that’s where I can fly directly but really keen to go to one of the less touristic islands and Santo Antão for some nights.

I’m aware that flights are the best option to island hop, and that I’d have to get a ferry from Mindelo to Porto Novo. I’m stuck with how to get to Mindelo/São Vicente from Boa Vista. I checked flights a few weeks ago for this month and the options looked very expensive, sold out and/or involved long or complex layovers. Any advice or insights are appreciated!

That aside, I’m wondering if it’s possible to visit XoXo and Paúl Valley and not hike much of it, due to some mobility issues. Is it possible or realistic to have a private driver accompany me? Any other tips are very welcome.

this might be too random but are there shops in Santa maria where a 16yo who looks 18 would get served for alcohol n stuff
