Cape Verde in black and white
In the depths of winter, my longing for sunshine led me
Between the equator and the tropics, to a country I’d never even dreamt of
Between lush vegetation and desert, a land of contrasts, with mountains rising from the sea.
A country bathed in a constant stream of music that oscillates between Africa and Europe
Where people wear perpetual smiles
And a gentle warmth
That lulls the dogs to a nap
A country where it’s lovely to walk
And which I absolutely loved.
