Cape Verde is a destination on the up: construction is rocketing, international flight numbers are soaring, and visitor arrivals are rising year on year. The fourth edition of this genuinely independent guide is the only English-language guide to Cape Verde. It covers all the islands, and has information about how to plan and execute trips between them, particularly on a short timescale. It provides updated information on Cape Verde's rapidly expanding tourist facilities, a new section on buying property, and a revised natural history section, helping visitors delve deep into the heart of the country's spectacular landscapes, colourful music and unusual people.
