Workation in Benguela: the essentials

Portuguese colonists founded Benguela in 1617, and the city became one of the main ports of the Atlantic slave trade, a past still visible in the colonial buildings of the centre. Today it is the capital of its province, with about 555,000 people at the 2014 census, and Praia Morena serves as the town beach along the Atlantic. Lobito, its port neighbour, lies just up the shore, and Catumbela Airport, about 14 km away, sits between the two. Everyday life runs in Portuguese, and international visitors are mostly here on business.
