Elected as Cape Verde’s National Heritage Site in 2010, Ribeira Brava is a friendly town, even though it is still called a “Vila”, with many houses that retain their colonial heritage, and where its original architecture stands out. For an adventure in Ribeira Brava’s historic center, trainers or trekking shoes will be your best ally. A series of narrow streets and alleys await you, with steep climbs, some of which are barely passable for a car, others for a simple bicycle… but well worth discovering.
