Ever best week. Now it is time for the travel show. There are still places that surprise me, even after travelling for nearly 20 years countries that appear to be one thing but, when you dig a little deeper, turn out to be something completely different. This is pretty spectacular. It is, it is. And im loving all the colours. The cabo verde archipelago, located just over 600km from senegal s coast, is one of them. Tourism has really picked up pace here in recent decades, and its easy to see why Crystal Clear waters, golden beaches, year round sun, all the ingredients for an amazing holiday. But i feel theres so much more to this place just waiting to be discovered by travellers like us. And all you have to do is head beyond the beaches. Ive been lucky enough to explore a lot of africa, but what ive heard about cabo verde is that you get this real sense of worlds and cultures colliding. So, if you take a look at the shops and some of the market stalls, theyre selling african style arts
