This mountainous island lies about 70nm due west of Sal. The peaks here cause sufficient rainfall to support the growth of fruit and vegetables here. The main town on the island is Vila da Ribeira Brava. It has an attractive colonial town centre. Porto do Tarrafal is located on the west coast of the island. It is one of the only places on the island with a (black) sand beach.
One of the best islands to visit. Friendly people and a few security problems.
