Santo Antao
On arriving by boat on the Ferry from Sao Vicente and into the port at Porto Novo, the landscape in front of you again is barren but mountainous.
Half an hour’s drive up into the mountain will provide you with some lovely views into valleys and a crater where the land has been used for cultivating crops of sugar cane and some fruit trees.
The pine trees along parts of the hilltop ridges are a welcome sight.
The new road taking you around the coastline to Ribiera Grande is opening late 2008.
Take a look at the Travel section and also the photos within the Picasa Photo Album under in the Photo Gallery.
