Favorite thing: There is a good hiking map of Santo Antao, but take it from home.
I didn't see the map in Cape Verde.
Name of the map:
Cape Verde Santo Antao.
Goldstadt Wanderkarte 1:50.000.
The hiking map is based on GPS measurements.
Of every track is a good description with the type of track, the quality of the track, how easy the navigation will be and the average time you need.

Favorite thing: Santo Antao has a fantastic mountaineous
scenery.
You arrive in the port of Porto Novo. The road to the north goes up through the mountains with breathtaking views all around.
The best part for walking and hiking is the north. Ribeira Grande and Ponta do Sol are good places to stay in small pensions or hotels.
Fondest memory: Mountains, ocean and a beautifull scenery at every spot.

Favorite thing: Ilha do Santo Antao is a mountaineous island and a very good and picturesque area for walking/hiking.
There are many trails, especally in the northern part of the island.
So bring your walking shoes.
