Workation in Tarrafal: the essentials
A sheltered bay of pale sand at the northern end of Santiago gives Tarrafal its appeal, with fishing boats in the small harbour and the Serra Malagueta mountains inland. The town had about 6,700 people in 2010 and is the seat of its own municipality. Its dark chapter is just outside town: the Portuguese colonial regime ran a political prison camp here, now a museum. Otherwise, days are for hiking, snorkelling and watching the boats come in. Santiago is not a resort island and accommodation is simple. Nelson Mandela International Airport at Praia is about 46 km away in a straight line, and the road across the island winds for about 90 minutes.
