Cape Verde, an archipelago off Africa's west coast, flaunts a fusion of Portuguese and African influences, encapsulated in its Creole culture. The islands are blessed with a mélange of dramatic landscapes, from the ribbons of white sand in Sal and Boa Vista to the volcanic terrain of Fogo. A year-round tropical climate entices sun-seekers, while cobblestone streets in towns like Mindelo hum with music and an inviting, laid-back vibe.
