Cabo Verde
The small archipelago known as Cabo Verde is located about 500 km from Senegal.
Starting from Paris, Amsterdam or Brussels is +/- 6h flying. Cape Verde is a small paradise in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and shows a mix of the three surrounding continents: Europe, Africa and America. Sal is a relatively flat island with a barren, dry and wild landscape, but has beautiful white sandy beaches that run into a range of turquoise tones.
The easternmost island of Sal receives the Nord East passat and the swell from the North Atlantic
The winds blowing from the northeast regularly throughout the year. This makes Sal the ideal spot for windsurfers and kitesurfers. The wind blows hard from October to Mai, and tempers a bit the rest of the year. In the summer it is better for diving when the ocean is calmer.
TIPS:
- Every Saturday night, Creole evening in the hotel Morabeza with extensive barbeque
- Transfer to kite beach: every morning at 09h30 from the Surf Zone club and costs per jeep +/- 14 euro
- If no wind you can do a half day trip with excursions ex. salt production, the eye ... lunch included
