Please note that Kitesurf NOW no longer exists on Salamansa Beach. The owners (Marc & Ola) do support local friends who offer kitesurf services, food and drinks. Their company is in one building called Creperie Chez Zoe and Kitesurf Cabo Verde. Please do not confuse them with the company which caused Kitesurf NOW not to return. This "bad" company is callled Kitesurf Salamansa and illegally put their building in exactly the same spot as where Kitesurf NOW was in process to renew their company.

On a clear day, it’s spectacular! There were haze but also windy when we went so we would get some windows of clear views and soon as it clears, it’s covered again. We were lucky as we see a lot of clearing. The drive up is not for the amateur driver or those scared of winding and narrow road with shear drops. Not much to do up there but take photos and admire the views therefore don’t choose to come unless you can see the top of mountain. We paid a taxi company to take us places around the island(day tour) for 70 Euros, we visited Calhau, Hiked to Viana Volcano, drove along Baia Grande, visited Praia das Gatas, Salamansa and Monte Verde, plus you a Miradouro or viewpoint of the city of Mindelo from the top of a hill. We had the best driver and guide called Bruni.

The oldest Fair Trade Genuine Arts and Crafts shop in Cape Verde. Located inside the historical building of Centro Cultural do Mindelo and old warehouse built in 1858. All the amazing handcrafted pieces are made by artists from all the islands.
