Video: Cape Verde – Tito Tomasi’s african playground
This time Tito invites us in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, 475 kilometers off the Senegal’s shore, the mysterious archipelago Cape Verde. Ten islands and each got its own vibe.
Follow Tito in this three weeks wild adventure on Santa Antao, island for biking and San Vicente island for surfing and painting. The two islands are so different that after a small ferry trip it looks like another country! People are unique but have something in common, relaxed, welcoming and happy. They are carrying a unique culture, full of color and sound.
Travelling in Cape Verde starts with amazing meeting along the trails, from a village to another using the colonial heritage as those endless rock paved ways across this unique landscape. The Santa Antao island is very mountainous, the trails are every thing from flow sandy single track to technical, steep and rocky trail on the cliffs. It takes from the forest at the top to the dry spines to the green and luxuous valley’s bottom. Surrounded by the ocean, the stunning views and the adventure is a pursuit of freedom along the trail.
San Vicente island was beautifull with a rich cultural activity and awesome surfing! A good place to learn more about the culture for Tito, as he was meeting many people and getting introduced to the surfing community. Surfing in San Vicente is all about motivation, it demands patience and knowledge. To reach the spot, long desert walk are required but it is worth it! Good waves, amazing landscape, warm water and uncrowded spots.
Tito came back with amazing footage and was able to get it together and offers us nice epic adventure video! We hope you will enjoy it.
