Why visit Cape Verde?

Lying just south of the Canaries, off the west coast of Africa, Cape Verde is often referred to as the ‘African Caribbean’. The islands are famed for their snow-white beaches, endless sand dunes, chilled vibe and candy-coloured towns. So for those seeking a beach escape in a place peppered with culture - Cape Verde has that pull.
