Product Description

Review

'Best guidebook.' The Sunday Times 'Reliable and well researched.' The Bookseller --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Product Description

South of the popular Canary Islands, the Cape Verde Islands are a more tranquil island group with a distinctive but welcoming culture waiting to be explored. Visitors are guided to deserted sandy beaches, tiny villages nestling in the volcanic mountains and shipwrecks off the spectacular coastline. Highlights for each of the islands in the group, travel between the islands, marine wildlife, and an introduction to Cape Verde Island culture are just some of the topics covered.

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.
