Overview

Visiting Mindelo is an invitation to experience the kindness, warmth, and beauty of a people shaped by a captivating blend of European and African heritage.
Long known as a haven for writers, thinkers, and musicians, the city breathes creativity, its rhythms, melodies, and stories echo through every street.

Strolling through Mindelo, the townhouses reveal tales of bygone eras, while the elegant hills overlooking Porto Grande Bay whisper memories of a vibrant and culturally rich past.
History and culture pulse through the city, its greatest treasures waiting to be discovered.

At the municipal market, the island’s most authentic flavors and traditions come alive.
Nearby, the striking replica of Belém Tower stands as a landmark of Gago Coutinho and Sacadura Cabral’s historic passage, complementing the iconic Porto Grande, the island’s proud symbol.
