Discovering Praia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798279166121)

Discovering Praia unveils the layered soul of Cape Verde's capital, where reef and remembrance breathe together. From sacred churches, mosques, and hillside shrines to volcanic ridges, mangrove walks, and tropical gardens, the city reveals its contrasts and continuity. Secret cafés, jazz-filled plazas, puppet museums, and haunted colonial buildings coexist with everyday Creole expressions, terrace chats, and whispers along the wharf. This book is a journey through spirituality, nature, language, and transformation, a portrait of Praia as both fragile and resilient, ancestral and contemporary, communal and intimate.
