Download or read book Street s Guide to the Cape Verde Islands written by Donald M. Street and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Street's Guide to the Cape Verde Islands is the first and only cruising guide for the Cape Verde Islands. Printed in 2011 it is a completely up-to-date, full-color guide that includes charts and sketches not available through any other source, as well as GPS waypoints, harbor and marina information, local knowledge and much more. Don Street has a message for all sailors planning to cross the Atlantic via the trade-wind route: "Forget about spending Christmas in the Caribbean, which forces you to cross the Atlantic in late November and early December when the trades are erratic and sometimes light to nonexistent. Instead, spend Christmas cruising and exploring the Cape Verde Islands and set off in late December or early January, after the trades have settled in, and be almost guaranteed a fast passage. They're not called the Christmas Winds for nothing! " To back up this advice, Don has written Street's Guide to the Cape Verde Islands. In it, he provides a historical and cultural commentary to add color to his down-to-earth descriptions of more than 50 potential anchorages (potential, because while a few are well known, a great many of them are rarely visited by any other than local boats). Any sailor with a sense of adventure who reads this guide will find plenty of reasons to go exploring in the Cape Verdes - enough, perhaps, to occupy the entire month of December.

Download or read book Cape Verde written by Murray Stewart and published by Bradt Travel Guides. This book was released on 2017-06-05 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new 7th edition of Bradt's Cape Verde (Cabo Verde) has been fully revised and updated and remains the most comprehensive English-language guidebook available to the islands of this alluring Atlantic archipelago, described by some as 'Africa light'. The guide includes well-researched history and cultural sections, with a particularly strong section on music, and brings an honest approach to reporting the fragile balance between tourist development and protecting the environment. This new edition reflects the many changes since the previous one, including the introduction of charter flights from the UK to Sal and the first casino-hotel on Sal, as well as providing full information on how to make the most of the less developed islands away from the main tourist hotspots. Stable and peaceful, quietly isolated by its mid-Atlantic location, Cape Verde continues to grow economically and to develop its tourist infrastructure at a leisurely pace. With few natural resources, the islands are heavily dependent on imports, foreign remittances and still to some extent on foreign aid. The reduction in the latter has heightened the focus on the importance of tourism as an economic driver and visitor numbers continue to rise. Year-round sunshine makes Cape Verde a particularly appealing destination. The archipelago is diverse, particularly in terms of its tourist infrastructure. Sal and Boavista, the oldest of these volcanic islands are flat with white-sand beaches that rival anything in the world. Consequently, they attract 95% of Cape Verde's visitors, leaving the other seven inhabited islands undeveloped. Hikers and those curious to discover something authentic are drawn to them, spending their time walking amongst the jaw-dropping mountainous landscapes of Fogo or Santo Antão, taking some true time-out in tiny Brava or mellow Maio or enjoying the cultural fusion of African, Portuguese and Brazilian influences in the cities of Praia and Mindelo. The adventurous will find adrenalin rushing as they profit from windsurfing and kitesurfing opportunities, fuelled by strong breezes and Atlantic waves, while for culture, Mindelo is the attraction with a constant backdrop of seductive music, the thread which ties together the islands scattered across the mid-Atlantic.

Download or read book Cabo Verde written by Carlos Lopes and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-12 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook is to be used as a contribution to the tour guides on the ground. It is also a way to introduce the visitors to a paradise country with a dark pass. This handbook does not include specific information on accommodation, restaurants, transportation, and activities, which will be furnished by the tourists guide in the islands and through a search on the internet. I start this handbook with a note on the history of the archipelago and then I will concentrate on each island, its own history since the discovery and places to visit in each island. One of the first published visitor's guidebook was written by John Murray, in London, and it happened in the 1830s (1836). It was an incentive for me to write this handbook, which I hope will help anyone interested in those tropical paradise islands on the Atlantic Ocean.This handbook should be used as an introduction to a personal guide to visit and learn about places, their history and the culture of the cape verdean people, even though many pieces of the heritage are being destroyed by greedy politicians. I realize that expectations are usually high and it require responsibilities on everyone involved in this business of tour guide. Preparations are required before embarking and, this book can be your first step to a great vacation in the islands of Cabo Verde.However, the tourist (you) should keep an open mind and listen to the tour guides on the islands, during any tour through the island. This handbook could be used as a reference to help you ask for more of the tour guide. A way of contributing to your tours to see the scenes mentioned in this handbook.Hope you will find this handbook useful particularly to schedule your priority on visiting the islands.Note: it should also be known that I'm against the good deed of some tourist on giving money to the kids on the streets, as they use the money to buy drugs from the dealers that prey on homeless kids and alcoholic people of the islands.Carlos Fortes Lopes, Author
