Cidade Velha

About 30 minutes drive from Praia, this small and lovely village was the first western settlement in Cape Verde. Now officially a UNESCO World Heritage Site (since 2009). A visit to the fortress (castle) uphill was nice. CVE 500 each person was not cheap, but it included video show and guided walk, worth it. Nice view of the village and sea downhill. If I have time, would like to stay a night in this quite village.
