Winter sun in CAPE VERDE

Just off the coast of Africa, these islands give the Canaries a run for their money
-
Why go?
With incredible wildlife and stunning landscapes, this cluster of islands in the Atlantic has so much to offer. Located off the west coast of Africa, the Cape Verde islands are still relatively unknown in the mainstream holiday market. Yet the archipelago boasts a year-long average temperature of 26C with very little rainfall, long stretches of beautiful, unspoilt beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters, making it the ultimate sun-seekers destination to get away from it all without the long-haul flight, which is always welcome. Sal – the most well-known of the islands – has a vibrant Creole PortugueseAfrican culture and should be high up on your list of places to visit.
