Cape Verde is situated in the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of Saharan Africa. Cape Verde is classed as a developing country and the native language is Portuguese. The Cape Verde islands are around 4000 sq km and home to around 500,000 people.
Car hire in Cape Verde is a particularly good idea due to the island being quite sparse and towns being spaced out. Cape Verde public transport is very limited so arranging for good car hire in advance is essential if you want to explore.
With hardly any rainfall the islands make a good holiday destination all year round. Temperatures remain fairly consistent all year round, usually around 23 degrees.
The fantastic sandy beaches that envelope the coast of the Cape Verde islands are truly breath taking and, by arranging good car hire you will have the freedom to explore the many secluded bays and coves at your own leisure.
Although the Cape Verde islands are relatively quiet there are still some great shopping opportunities to be had. Items such as masks, carved wood, painted canvas's and jewelry are readily available giving you some great Cape Verde souvenirs to take home. Take a hire car to the furthest village to seek out the more original handicrafts, your car hire company should provide you with a comprehensive, up to date map.
The location of Cape Verde's Rabil Airport means that you will only be around 15 minutes away from the popular resorts if you intend on travelling by rental car.
