Santiago
is home to Cape Verde’s capital
city, Praia. The island is rich
in African culture and is always
busy with festivals. Outside the
main town and resorts, the landscape
is stunning - lush
forests, searing mountains and
valleys abound – most
notably the ranges of Pico d’Antonia,
and Malagueta.
Santiago also offers miles of
sandy beaches and possesses ideal
conditions for fishing, diving
and other water sports.
Santiago certainly offers a unique
experience to those seeking a real
estate investment in Cape Verde.
Whilst tourism is centred around
Sal, Santiago provides a greater
cultural
experience and appeals
to those who want seclusion and
modern luxury coupled with a North
African culture. For this reason,
Santiago is experiencing high growth
in the tourism sector fuelling
real estate growth. Most analysts
agreed that Santiago will become
a very popular tourist hub for
the discerning European tourist. Getting
There
Flights are available to Santiago currently from Portugal via TAP Airlines. In November
2006, direct flights will be available from the UK.
