From the lush countryside to paradise! Sample local flavors in São Domingos, explore the markets of Assomada and the Malagueta mountains, and then relax in the crystal-clear waters of Tarrafal. The essence of Santiago.
We set off from Praia towards the lush interior of Santiago, where the island reveals its most authentic side. The scenic road takes us to São Domingos, where we will taste the traditional cornmeal cake – simple, authentic, and steeped in tradition.
We continue to Órgãos, a land of fertile valleys and majestic mountains, where the pace slows down and nature dominates the landscape.
In Assomada, we visit the lively municipal market, immersing ourselves in the colors, flavors, and authenticity of the island’s interior.
