We leave Praia for the verdant interior of Santiago, where the island reveals its most authentic side. The scenic road takes us to São Domingos, where we taste the traditional cornmeal pie — simple, genuine, and full of tradition.
We continue to Órgãos, a land of fertile valleys and imposing mountains, where the pace slows down and nature dominates the landscape.
In Assomada, we visit the lively municipal market, immersing ourselves in the colours, flavours, and authenticity of the island's interior.
As we cross the mountain range, the mountains open up to breathtaking coastal views until we reach the paradise of Tarrafal. Here, one of the most beautiful beaches in Cape Verde invites you to relax, swim, and contemplate. For those who wish, it is possible to visit the historic Tarrafal Concentration Camp, a striking symbol of national memory.
