Santo Antao,Cape Verde walks December 2019

Having done many walking trips to Madeira and the Canary Islands I decided to take a look at Santo Antao, the most north westerly Cape Verde island, which lies about 600 kilometres off the Senegal - Mauritania coast.A few more travel logistics are involved,including a stopover in Lisbon and onward flight to Sao Vicente and then a bumpy ferry across to Santo Antao.
