Camping at Curral Velho
The southern tip of Boa Vista, where the road runs out: low dunes, a pink salt flat, a palm grove and a white beach with nobody on it. We pitch camp in the afternoon under the palms, walk out to the ruins of the old fishing village as the sun drops, and have dinner around the fire with Cape Verdean food cooked on the spot. Then the sky arrives, and out here not one light disturbs it. You wake to breakfast, the ocean a few steps away and seabirds on the islet offshore.
