CAPE VERDE, the former Portuguese colony situated 1 hours flying time South of the Canary Islands, comprises 10 lush, hilly and mountainous islands, of which a Sal is the most popular with its international airport. Direct flights taking between 5 & 6 hours are now available from the UK to Sal rather than having to travel via Lisbon. The climate is tropical, the rainy season being between August and October and average monthly temperatures throughout the year are between 70 & 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Our comment: with the government geared to encouraging tourism and investment, the purchase of a property in Cape Verde is ideal for those looking for an investment and/or an all year round holiday home.
