About Praia

Praia is the capital of Cape Verde, a city on Santiago island's south coast built around a colonial plateau, with busy markets and strong musical roots.

Praia is the capital of Cape Verde, a country of volcanic islands off West Africa, and lies on the south coast of Santiago, the largest island. The old city sits on the Plateau, a flat-topped headland with pastel colonial buildings, a central square with a church, and the presidential palace. Below it, the market sells fish, fruit, spices and cloth, and beaches stretch along the bay.
