Cabo Verde
São Nicolau
Trails, Monte Gordo and the legend of "Caboverdianismo".
São Nicolau is the island of poetry — much of Creole literature was born here. Dramatic mountain landscapes, the Monte Gordo Natural Park, fishing villages like Tarrafal. Far less visited than Sal or Boa Vista — ideal for exploring without crowds.
