A meeting point between Africa and Europe and a bridge to the Americas, these volcanic islands disheveled by the wind keep intact that decadent charm that has always characterized them. Lulled by the slow and melancholic rhythms of the morna sounds, it will be easy to get lost among pastel-colored alleys and colonial houses and be enchanted in front of green valleys, fine sand dunes and waters crystal clear.
Furthermore, on this special departure accompanied by anthropologist Leonardo Francesco Paoluzzi, participants will take part in the Mindelo Carnival festivities.
