Cape Verde is a group of volcanic islands off the West African coast, popular for its diverse landscapes—from the sandy beaches of Sal and Boa Vista to the dramatic mountains of Santo Antão and the active volcano Pico do Fogo. The currency is the Cape Verdean escudo (CVE), though euros are widely accepted in tourist areas. Prices are moderate: local food and transport are relatively affordable, while imported items can be more expensive. The climate is warm and dry year-round, with average temperatures between 20 °C and 30 °C, minimal rainfall, and steady trade winds that keep conditions comfortable.
