Such pictures from Sao Vicente reveal the beauty of these gorgeous islands which are overall not in a state that may convince every visitor.

Some things are a bit run down to just say the least, but still some unique charm has prevailed over the years.

The Islands are located only 450 kilometers away from the African West Coast but the ruling lifestyle is Latino strictly and the main talk is Creole whilst the official language is Portuguese.

English is very limited but French has become kind of popular.
