Afterwards, continue on to the town of Assomada. Visit its famous market and admire the vibrant colours of the local fruit and vegetables. Head to the Serra Malagueta nature park and marvel at the incredible views from 1,000 metres above sea level.
Then discover Santiago's most beautiful beach, Tarrafal, known for its white sands and crystal-clear waters. Take a break for lunch (on your own) and then return along the east coast of the island.
