Accessible by boat from Santiago, Brava is the last bastion of Cape Verde and the closest island to Brazil. Covered with flowers, mountainous, windswept, Brava is a land of contrasts. Its capital, Vila Nova Sintra, is a beautiful architectural ensemble organised around a vast central square dotted with trees. It might well be on this steep rock, suitable for hiking, where the welcome is warm and time flows smoothly, that you will have your most beautiful Cape Verdean experience.
