Cape Verde - Where To Go?

dranzer01

Anyone here a seasoned vet regarding Cape Verde? Where best to fly to? Where is the 'most' likely 'fun, vivacious, beach parties, night life' taking place?

I welcome all your experiences and views - it will be much appreciated.

I have never been but would love to visit Mindelo, and to a lesser extent the capital, Praia. However, cheap charter flights do not go to the inhabited islands but to special resort islands where the only locals around are those who work servicing the resorts.

Cape Verde is not a place to go expecting beach parties etc.

Relations went there a couple of years ago - liked the location, great for chilling out - the night life is the entertainment provided by the hotels.

However they said it was not  somewhere you would want return to unless for more relaxation.

We went a few years back, wouldn't return. Basically stay in your hotel or get harassed by locals.
