Islands can be visited all year because temperatures are very constant. Wind season starts sometime

Cabo Verde 2010 | Ahasuerus
I decided to describe another kite trip in early 2010. Since last year I hardly in recent days leave poach on the water, I was not enough to wait until the next season. A friend a few years go to Cabo Verde and we're beginning to think about the destination. In addition to all of us dope summer during our winter.
Cape or Cape Verde became independent plas more than 30 years. Before that they were Portuguese colony. The locals are called Cabo Verde islands lie to the west of the peninsula Zelenirt Senegal and south of the Canary Islands. From the mainland are within 600 miles. plas Most of the local population is mulatov, blacks are usually Senegalese, Ghanaians and Guineans on temporary work. The island of Sal is one of the ten inhabited islands and the most touristy. plas With the name Sal associated salt pans as they were once one of the major industries of the country. The island is except for a few small volcanoes completely flat and desert. Constant wind and exotic sandy beaches make the island a magnet for surfers and riders.
Population: 480,000 Area: 4033 km Capital: Praia (which means beach in Portuguese) Largest City: Praia (100,000 inhab.) Official language: Portuguese Currency: Cabo Verde escudo (CVE)
Islands can be visited all year because temperatures are very constant. Wind season starts sometime in January and can last until the end of May. Over the summer, the wind slows somewhat warmer months are September and October. Music from Cape Verde is famous around the world. The most characteristic musical genre is 'morna' - slow, sentimental music, like the Portuguese 'fadu'. By far the most famous singer and also a representative of 'morne' plas Cesaria Evora's, who appeared already in Slovenia.
So, we chose a destination, we decided to travel on your own, so I started searching apartment in November and airline tickets. Departure was scheduled in February. Germany offers services TUIfly, departures every week from Munich. If you closer to Italy you can choose to Neosair. Prices are very similar, we're TUIfly chosen because we got a really good cards in their special offer. I bought tickets online, you have the option plas when purchasing the application of sports equipment, so you pay only an additional 25 Euros, regardless of the size of the bags. In my case, it was the only room in the back, so I logged off for the additional weight of 20 kg. Because I do it all online, I was charged with the additional weight of a 50% discount. We traveled two and we had a limit of 60 kg, which is more than enough.
Property owned most of the foreigners, especially the British and the Italians. Our apartment I found through the English side, where private owners advertise apartments. When I contacted one of the owners me this link with your agent on the island, so I set it up to her. When booking you pay a deposit and the rest when leaving home. Agent was correct, costs were included, editor we also transport from the airport and back.
The most popular transport, pick-up, which have kasonu ticks and can carry a lot of people at once. With them we carried the two of us, because this 15 eur riding on the beach and at the appointed hour, they come to pick up.
The islands are famous for their calmness, their slogan is "NO STRESS" which is absolutely true. That you feel as soon as you step from the airport. People just relax on every corner or stroll through the streets. Despite the poverty never mentions begging. The locals are very friendly and hospitable, living in fishing and farming. Immigrants from Senegal are a different story. On Sal come to sell souvenirs, most stores have them. They are able to walk beside you through the city and invite you into their shops and even homes. To me, it bothered a few days, then it is easy to ignore.
Our apartment was in the town of Santa Maria, which is also the most touristy. It was located at the end of town, near the surf center, just a few minutes plas from the center. On the island of Surface and riders plas three most popular beaches. The first is the Shark Bay or. locals call it Kite beach, the other is Santa Maria beach, located in front of the hotel and the third is the Ponta Preta, where due to the huge waves breaking plas reef.
Whales beach side the wind is blowing on shore and causing a big chop. There are walks kajtat because plas the wind is very constant and the beach is suitable for beginners. Take it to be out of town and cross the sand dunes, so the car less accessible. In Santa Maria blows k-side on shore, but the wind passes over the city and buildings create huge Reful. Speed is what happens to you from the beautiful kite falls to the ground as he runs for a few seconds the wind. Ponta Preta is designed for more surfers plas on the waves because the wind PIHE off shore and is suitable for experienced riders.
We are daily vehicle whales beach on the last day we rented Panda 4 4 that we visited the rest of the island. We visited the volcanic crater in the wo
