Tired of the overcrowded Canaries? Opt for Cape Verde, an archipelago of ten islands lost in the Atlantic, off the coast of Senegal. A country with a mixed identity between three continents: Africa, Europe and America.

Volcanoes, colonial cities, scorching dunes or humid forests, each island is a journey within a journey. One is green, windy and steep, while the other is arid, sun-scorched and flat. But there's one constant: the Cape Verdean population is warm, imbued with «morabeza», a blend of kindness and benevolence, lively and mixed, but above all passionate about music and dance. Of course, there's Cesária Evora, the barefoot diva who put Cape Verdean music on the world map. But you could almost say that here, every inhabitant is a potential artist and never misses an opportunity to party.
The Cape Verde islands are home to wildlife with very rare species, including the Razo Lark, of which only 250 specimens remain.
Take a dive into the Morabeza Hotel's discotheque with its old-fashioned charm: it's the oldest in the archipelago.
Don't carry too much local currency (escudo) as it's impossible to exchange it for euros.
4. In Cape Verde, it is customary to dress very well when going to a restaurant.
