| Cape Verde Islands 4th Bradt Travel Guide Cape Verde IslandsPosted on May 24, 2011.  Cape Verde Is A Destination On The Up: Construction IS rocketing, international flight numbers are soaring, and visitor arrivals are rising year on year. 'As the country prospered, Cape Verde's diaspora (of Whom 400.000 live in America) IS Joining the foreign tourists to return for holidays, to withdraw to the Islands, or Even to set up new lives There. The fourth edition of this genuinely independent guide features a new section is buying property. It Provides updated information on Cape Verde's Rapidly Expanding tourist facilities, has revised natural history section, and Help Visitors Delve Deep into the Heart of the Country's spectacular landscape, colorful music and unusual people. CommentsLavette Chiaravalle says... This was the first, but it won't be the last, travel guide I'll buy from the Bradt series. It contains an outstanding overview of the Islands' geology, political history and economy along with great suggestions for active sports tourism and passive sightseeing. I was so impressed I bought the Bradt guide to the Canary Islands too. Both will come in handy on a trans-Atlantic cruise we've booked for this Fall. Posted on May 28, 2011 Laila Okoniewski says... The book was very outdated and there's nothing new to learn that couldn't easily have been googled.As for visiting Cape Verde, we LOVED it. Posted on May 28, 2011 Georgiana Tegner says... I first visited the Cape Verdes in 1987 while researching the ATLANTIC ISLANDS, a sailing guide covering the Azores, Madeira group, Canaries and Cape Verdes, now in its third edition. Getting information on the Cape Verdes in the English language was difficult in the extreme -- if only Aisling and Colum's excellent book had been available then! These days no sane person should visit the islands without reading it first. The Cape Verdes come as something of a culture shock after the Canaries -- this book will explain why, and help you get the most from the experience. Buy it! Posted on May 28, 2011 Loyd Moster says... Irwin and Wilson's guide gives you all the factual information you need, and in addition succeeds in capturing the spirit of Cape Verde, with boxes on cultural and historical issues linked to each island. There is no doubtabout it: This is the best guide available. If you read German, RolfOsang's "Kapverdische Inseln" from Dumont is nearly as good and auseful supplement (especially when it comes to photos). The chapters onCape Verde in Rough Guides' and Lonely Planet's books on West Africa areneither up-to-date nor in-depth enough if you plan to spend more than a fewdays in Cape Verde (which you should!). The appendix on Crioulo languagein Irwin and Wilson's book is brief but good. Don't be put off by the nastydetails on horrible diseases in the section on health! Posted on May 30, 2011 Venita Rocke says... If you plan on visiting the Islands of Cape Verde, this travel guide is essential. I have not found a better or more thorough guide. I currently live here but I am American and I knew nothing of the islands when I arrived. But after living here a while, I discovered that this book is as accurate as I initially thought. There are few things misspelled but that is to be overlooked by the amount of truely uselful and thorough the information is. I also liked the little touches of background and history on each island. It is very well done. Posted on May 31, 2011 Jeanie Shively says... This was just the sort of thing a hardened backpacker needed. It had all the useful nooks and crannies of info you need - plus the fact that it filled in a lot of the extra info you like to get about a place you'reseeing. They gave a great account of the islands' history - it was reallymoving. Posted on June 2, 2011 Leave a Comment |
