Mindelo Cape Verde Port Stop | Transatlantic Cruise | Travel and Cruise Tips
Mindelo Cape Verde Port Stop | Transatlantic Cruise Mindelo, the port city located on São Vicente Island, is part of the Cape Verde Islands. This port is frequented by cruise ships on transatlantic and African sailings. The downtown area has colonial architecture, a large market (except Sundays), and walkable waterfront. The arid volcanic island is worth a tour, navigating the hand laid cobble roads visiting stunning beaches and hilltop views, followed by a visit to a local establishment for refreshments and cultural singing and dancing. Recent economic development of the area seems to have suddenly stopped, leaving many buildings half finished. Other tour options are swim with the sea turtles. Worth a visit to experience the unique landscape and history. Enjoy!
