Beautiful island, the beaches were spectacular, turquoise waves and golden powder sands, the people are friendly and very attractive, and having travelled to West Africa before, the area is relatively modern, e.g. the airport and other facilities are comparable to European standards. What I also appreciated was that it is very safe, something I liked as I went there as a single white female travelling alone. Next time I would like to see more of the other islands as well, Praia, Fogo, etc.
