Workation in Ponta do Sol: the essentials
Cabo Verde's northernmost town sits on the coast of Santo Antão, 4 km from Ribeira Grande, and grew from a small fishing village from the 1880s onwards. Most people come for the ribeira hikes, above all the cliff path to Fontainhas and Cruzinha, in the green, mountainous north of the island. The town itself has a small harbour, a square, guesthouses and a few restaurants, and accommodation is simple. Santo Antão has no working airport, so you fly to São Vicente, where the airport is about 41 km away across the water, then take the ferry from Mindelo to Porto Novo and drive over the mountains.
