Visiting the capital of the country means supplementing the historical knowledge of events marked by the arrival of independence. Places such as the Jaime Mota Army House, the cruise, the Presidential Palace, the Municipal Chamber, the courts, the Alexandre Albuquerque main square, show the colonial side of the city. In the Municipal Market you can get to know a lot of the local gastronomy, going down Ponta Belém to the Sucupira Market, where you can buy souvenirs, traditional clothes and much more.

We met Nelson after meeting another tourist in Praia, who recommended us to ask Nelson if we ever needed anything during our stay. Nelson drove us from Praia to Tarrafal the next day, while showing us great spots along the way and telling us about local culture. He speaks great English and we felt very safe with him, the car was very clean and all measures were taken in regards to COVID. He was a very friendly and thoughtful person and we will not hesitate to call him next time we are in town!

Me and my girlfriend we met Zenildo in Praia during our first day in Plateau. He proposed us several tours aroud Santiago and convinced us to take a full day tour by public bus. Next day he picked us up on time and we went to Sucupira "Bus station" in order to pick the colective to fowart to the intirior. About 40 min later we arrived at Luisa's house (a must see). Lyisa is so kind and she prepered a home made Kuskus to us. We really miss her fidjos as well. Then we continued to Assomada. Lukelly it was sutarday and we found the market opened. Our guide knew everyone and he is very knowledgeable explaning all types of vegetables we didnt knew. Next, we picked un other bus that took us to tarrafal beach passing though Serra Malagueta natural park. We enjoyd tge beautiful beach with No Stress vibe. After we picked the last bus that brought us back to Praia. We really recomend Zenildo, thank you for showing us your amazing island Like Locals! Pether & Annethe
