Holidays to Espargos

Named after the green vegetables spear, this is the capital city on the island of Sal in Cape Verde, off the West African coast. Sal is relatively small, so it’s easy to visit beaches all over the island, especially if you hire a quad bike. And there is something to suit everyone – dramatic rocky shores perfect for diving, huge waves for surfers, white sands and turquoise seas for bathers, and even shark spotting locations.
