Boa Vista (Cape Verde) Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
easternmost island of Cape Verde
About Boa Vista (Cape Verde)
This island is considered to be the birth place of Morna, a main musical genre of the country. Boa Vista went through some economic improvements in the beginning of the 17th century, when great amounts of salt were found on it. At the time, salt was already sold in the island of Maio. Before the discovery of salt, the island's economy was based on cattle breeding, just like the other arid islands of the archipelago. The island is now very heavily geared towards tourism, principally catering towards package tours for Europeans, with many chartered flights operated by Tui, which also operates large resort-style hotels on the island located in isolated enclaves that have restricted access for locals.
