'The only travel guide in English is the excellent and up-to-date Bradt Travel Guide.' The Guardian 'Best guidebook.' The Sunday Times 'Reliable and well researched.' The Bookseller

Product Description

Cape Verde is a destination on the up: construction is rocketing, international flight numbers are soaring, and visitor arrivals are rising year on year. As the country prospers, developers are energetically targeting British and Irish second-home investors, while the country also attracts its diaspora of hundreds of thousands who join the tourists in returning for holidays. The fourth edition of this genuinely independent guide covers all the islands of Cape Verde. It provides updated information on Cape Verde's rapidly expanding tourist facilities, a revised natural history section, and helps visitors delve deep into the heart of the country's spectacular landscape, colourful music and unusual people.

4.0 out of 5 stars Read & prepare so you know what to expect !, 27 Mar 2009

Susie Q "Just Browsing" (Staffs) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cape Verde (Bradt Travel Guides) (Paperback)

We purchased this guide prior to our recent holiday to Cape Verde as we had read and heard very mixed reports.Excellent accurate information in all sections. I particularly enjoyed the history section and it gave a good insight into the troubled background of the Islanders. They are lovely mixed race people and very warm & welcoming.
If you are unsure if this is the place for you to visit this book gives a real insight into all aspects of life on the various Islands.
Beware if you want hectic & noisy this place is not for you, it is tranquil and unspoilt at present but a lot of developement planned.
We saw most of the island of Sal and knew where to go for best days out.We found the restaurant guide particularly helpful and the language section although most of the locals seemed to speak good English.
We will be visiting other islands now as we are keen to explore after reading this guide. Go while it is still peaceful - it will change !!

5.0 out of 5 stars no guide as good as this, 15 Oct 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Cape Verde Islands: The Bradt Travel Guide (Bradt Travel Guides) (Paperback)

I'm just back from Cabo Verde, where I travelled in the company of this guide-book,
which was an excellent support. There's no guide on the market as good as
this, and having heard of Bradt Publications the first time, I will definitely
specifically look for their books in the future.

This review is from: Cape Verde Islands: The Bradt Travel Guide (Bradt Travel Guides) (Paperback)

I have just returned after 24 super days in 6 of the islands. The guide was most helpful and the only one I could find in English.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice read
Interesting and nice read for home - do not take it with you to the trip though. Good for what it is, but if you are looking for a guidebook, try the Bradt one.
