CAPE VERDE

Halfway between the Tropics and the open Atlantic,

Cape Verde is an archipelago of islands,

each unique and different.

A mild climate all year, steady trade winds,

days paced by a placid sun casting its light.

Life follows a rhythm born of sea and land,

an ancient balance of work, music, and conviviality.

Known as the island of sand,

Boa Vista is white stretches

broken by the deep blue of the ocean.

Its beaches run for kilometers,

often without footprints,

shaped by a light wind that sculpts the dunes.

Sal Rei, its center, is a weave of simple streets

and vivid colors, where every step

leads to the sea.

Here the essential becomes natural:

time expands, the mind aligns

with the island’s breath.
