Why Cape Verde is strong for winter sun
Cape Verde combines beach weather, ocean scenery and distinctive Creole culture. For travelers searching winter sun, it feels more exotic than many European islands while still being practical for a one-week holiday.
Sal and Boa Vista are the easiest choices for beach holidays, while São Vicente and Santo Antão turn the trip into something more cultural and scenic.
