Shopping - Cape Verde | ArrivalGuides.com

ShoppingGuide was updated: 13. mars 2024

Most everyday products in Cape Verde are imported and thus tend to be on the expensive side, but locally-produced items are plentiful, and strolling through the stalls at any of the islands' vibrant markets is an experience not to be missed. Find fresh produce and fish, local coffee, cheese and jam, wine, rum, the traditional grogue, and of course, a wealth of handicrafts and artwork, including wood carvings, woven baskets, paintings and jewellery.

Djunta Mo Art (Sal)
