Peculiarities of the country
1.Public transport in Cape Verde is poorly developed, there are almost no buses. Instead, there are minibuses.
2. There is no seasonal change and climate is quite mild with year-round temperatures of around 25-28 degrees.
3. The Internet in Cape Verde is very slow and very expensive everywhere. So, many places are without internet connection at all.
