Description
Tarrafal is a picturesque town located in the northern part of Santiago Island in Cape Verde. Known for its stunning beaches, Tarrafal is a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking a serene escape. The town offers a blend of natural beauty, featuring clear blue waters and surrounded by lush green mountains, which make it a perfect place for outdoor activities such as hiking and swimming.
Historically, Tarrafal is significant due to its association with the Tarrafal concentration camp, established during Portugal's colonial rule.

Today, the former camp is preserved as a historical site and museum, allowing visitors to learn about the region's past and the resilience of its people.
In addition to its rich history, Tarrafal boasts a vibrant local culture, with markets offering traditional crafts and fresh produce. The town hosts several annual festivals that celebrate music, dance, and local cuisine, providing a lively atmosphere for visitors. The warm climate and friendly community make Tarrafal a welcoming place for anyone looking to experience the unique charm of Cape Verde.
