San Antau Property Guide
Barely an hours ferry passage from mindelo you will find the scenic and untouched island of Santo Antao. Then comes the unmissable drive over Santo Antao's rugged terrain to Ribeira Grande. The road is incomparable to anything that you may have seen before; it is built from volcanic rock and streacthes over 25 km. The road twists and turns towards cliff edges, volcanic craters and lust georges. The road takes you to such great heights that you actually feel a temperature change during the ascent.
Ribeira Grande is a quiet, peaceful town with rustic colonial houses, close by is the quaint town of Ponta do Sol. Pnnta do sol is an exquisite town with stunning buildings, beautiful church, restaurants and thriving nightlife. The scenary of Santo Antao is perhaps the most spectacular of all of the Cape Verde Islands. There is a breathtaking mountain range with altitudes that exceed 1500 meters. Very few flights are available to the island so most of the islands vistitors tend to travel by ferry from Mindelo, Sao Vicente. Located close to Janela is a large rock that tends to attract those with an interest in history. There are inscriptions of the rock that date back to the 1400's and question whether or not the Portuguese were actually the first to discover the Cape Verde islands. Make sure that you don't leave the Cape Verde islands without tasting Grogue. It is the locals favorite, Rum. But be careful it is VERY strong.
