In November 2012, I spent three weeks island-hopping around Cape Verde, a far-out archipelago in the eastern Atlantic, on guidebook assignment. I visited eight of the nine inhabited islands, a handful of which really stirred my soul.
Pictured here is the village of Fajã d’Agua on the northwestern coast of Brava, the least touristed and most remote of the islands. We arrived at sunset, to this view of the pretty village, poised dramatically between a rocky cove and sheer cliffs.
