Description

Come and see Cidade Velha de Santiago, which is the cradle of Cape Verdeanness. It is also the place name of the former city of Ribeira Grande, which was the capital of the Cape Verde archipelago for several centuries. It was the first city the Portuguese had in Africa during their adventure of discovery. It is therefore a must-see in the historical context of the Cape Verde Islands. All that remains of it are the ruins overlooking the archipelago's eternal blue sea and sleeping under the weight of the years of man's moment of oblivion. Your visit will be accompanied by a driver with years of experience who will ensure that your trip is of the highest quality, in comfort and safety.
