🏝️ Location
Ponta do Sol is a small fishing town in the north of the island, known for its relaxed atmosphere, scenic views, and access to hiking routes.

Ponta do Sol (portuguese for the "point of the sun") is a small fishing settlement situated in the northern part of the island municipality of Santo Antão, Cape Verde. The city is the 12th largest in Cape Verde and is the seat of Ribeira Grande municipality.

The city is located about north of Porto Novo and northwest of Paul and Ribeira Grande and are linked with two main roads including one to Porto Novo. It sits near a cape of the same name and the mountains and the hills middle-class in Cape Verde.

Santo Antão

The surface area of Santo Antão, portuguese for "Saint Anthony", is 779 Km2 and it is the second largest island of the whole Archipelago. Its maximum length is of 43 Km, and the widest point is of 24 Km. The impressive high mountains constitute an attraction to those who visit the island, in the heart of which lays a mountain range from the northeast to the southeast culminating in a volcanic pick known as "Topo de Coroa", 1.979 metre high, one of the highest points of the island.

Santo Antão was discovered in 1462, but the Portuguese Crown would start its settlement around the year of 1548. A major development of the island as well as a network of new roads to improve the connection between the different communities in the island have not been possible due to the height of the mountains; they’re however considered to be important steps that should be taken towards the development of the island.

The landscape is desert to the South, but with the vegetation becoming very exuberant as one approaches the North of the Island, which is at the same time one of the most agricultural of the whole Archipelago. In fact, sugar cane, manioc, banana, breadfruit, mango, papaya, as well as many other plantations can be found in the island. Grog, a national strong alcoholic drink made from the sugar cane, is produced in a traditional way, in the "trapiches" (rudimentary machine moved by cows that grinds the sugar cane), which can still be found in some of the islands. The people’s hospitality is usually shown in the warm way that foreigners are welcomed everywhere in the island.

The economy characteristics of Santo Antao are typically of the island Small market, few diversity of economy structures, lack of private entrepreneurial capacity and insufficient distribution and commercialization chains of local produced goods and services are the most visible constrains.

The agricultural sector, directed primarily at regional and national consumption, is Santo Antão's main economic sector and income source.
There is now a growing increase in tourism given the island's exceptional conditions for adventure travel especially for walking holidays.
