Cape Verde: Mindelo

editorial review

Set around a moon-shaped port and ringed by barren mountains, Mindelo is Cape Verde's answer to the Riviera, complete with cobblestone streets, candy-coloured colonial buildings and yachts bobbing in a peaceful harbour.

Safely around a bend is the country's deepest industrial port, which in the late 19th century was a key coaling station for British ships and remains the source of the city's relative prosperity. Today, its prominence in Cape Verdean culture remains: it produces more than its fair share of the islands' poets, musicians and stylish bars.
