Cape Verde Considered Ideal Vacation Destination for Families
05 September 2011
The fourth issue of the magazine published by Portuguese travel company Soltrópico identifies Cape Verde as an ideal destination for vacationing families, “for the safe, warm, endless beaches of the islands of Boa Vista and Sal.”
The latest issue of the magazine went into circulation on September 1, but for those who have not yet the opportunity to see it, A Semana Online reveals one of the articles about Cape Verde included in it, with the suggestive title “Cape Verde: a children’s paradise,” written by Patrícia Serrado. In the article, the reporter says that “the beaches are lovely and security is high. We are talking about the islands of Boa Vista and Sal, in Cape Verde.” She also refers to the “pleasant temperatures” and the “uniquely kind” local population, which make the islands “the right choice for those wishing to vacation with the whole family.”
In order to further whet prospective tourists’ appetites, the magazine details the attractions of each of the two islands. For example, with regards to Boa Vista, readers learn that it has “endless beaches, sun on a daily basis, a turquoise sea, warm water and a great deal of space for kids to let out all their adrenaline.” She also challenges families to take their children to see the city of Sal-Rei, as well as Rabil, Povoação Velha and the Viana desert, as well as the Santa Mónica, Chaves, Lacacão and Curral Velho beaches.
The magazine also suggests a longer, eight-day visit including the islands of São Vicente, Santo Antão and Santiago, and visits to the main tourist attractions on the latter – Cidade Velha, the São Filipe Fort and Tarrafal.
