Visit São Vicente


Sao Vicente is an island located in the archipelago of Cape Verde, off the northwest coast of Africa. It is known for its stunning beauty and relaxed atmosphere, making it a popular tourist destination. One can explore its beaches, such as Laginha Beach or Mindelo Beach; experience breathtaking views from Monte Verde; and visit traditional villages that have been part of the island's cultural heritage since colonial times.

Sao Vicente also has an interesting history. The first Europeans to settle here were Portuguese explorers in 1462, establishing sugar cane plantations and importing slaves to work them. Later on French traders built warehouses where they sold goods throughout the Caribbean islands until slavery was abolished in 1876. Today Sao Vicente continues to showcase a mix of African-Portuguese cultures and traditions that make it one of the most unique places to visit in Cape Verde.
