Worth knowing about Mindelo
- The airport is out at the village of São Pedro rather than in Mindelo, and the taxi in is quoted at 800 Cape Verde escudos by day and 1,000 in the evening.
- Mindelo is on São Vicente, and the ferry from its port is the crossing to Porto Novo on Santo Antão, not a link to Sal or Praia. At least two boats a day run, at 300 escudos, with tickets sold at the harbour.
