If you want to get away from this winter’s particular chill and cold, you should probably consider a sunny vacation. One of the most popular destinations from the UK are the Cape Verde Islands. The Cape Verde Islands are the closet tropical island chain to Europe, just off the west coast of Africa. They have become quite popular with surfing Brits.
Many see the Cape Verde Islands as a less expensive alternative to the Caribbean. This one time Portuguese colony hardly had any British visitors as recently as 2004, when there were only 1000 total. Now, it is becoming a popular destination for those Brits who want sand, sun, surf, and sea when all about home is wind, rain, and snow.
Tourism has taken over the Cape Verde islands since its shipbuilding and salt-mining industries have left and developers and tourists are lapping up this tropical paradise.
There are ten islands in the Cape Verde archipelago and a visit to almost any one is a delight. You can enjoy the warm tropical sun and the caress of the trade winds as you sit on a sandy white beach.
If you prefer, take a Cape Verde adventure holiday. While developers are building high rises with luxury accommodations and swimming pools for the kiddies, you might want to explore some of the unique volcanic landscape, wild beaches, and mountain villages.
Many tourists limit their visit to the popular island of Sal, but if you want a real adventure, rent a boat and go island hopping. Much of the Cape Verde archipelago is still undeveloped and on an island hopping excursion you can really enjoy the wild tropics, possibly for the first time in your life. If you like boating and adventure, don’t miss this opportunity while it lasts, developers are moving in on Cape Verde fast.
