Mindelo marinas
Mindelo is a city on a broad bay on São Vicente, known for Creole music, colourful old neighbourhoods and visiting yachts.
Mindelo
In Mindelo, a sea passage gives way to lively city life. Behind the waterfront are neighbourhoods of Portuguese-era houses, markets and cafés. Music is a reason to linger: the city is closely associated with Cesária Évora, and bars host morna and other local styles in the evenings.
The broad Porto Grande bay and the rocky outline of Monte Cara shape the city’s setting. Laginha beach offers time by the water without leaving town. In autumn, crews preparing to cross the Atlantic are a particularly visible part of life here.
