Ribeira de Torre

Everywhere at the island of Santo Antao we saw intriguing stone forms.
Old or new?

Here in Ribeira de Torre used as a shelter for small cattle.
But we had the impression that also people used larger ones theirselves as a dwelling.

Making grogue.

The typical liquor of Cape Verde is the grogue made of sugar cane.
You can drink this everywhere in the archipelago. The grogue is made in Santo Antao

In the Ribeira Grande in the north-west of Santo Antao we found a distellary where they produce this liquor.
