We don't sell power plug adapters. We refer you to Amazon, where you will find a great selection of travel adapters. On Cape Verde the standard voltage is V and the frequency is 50 Hz. You can use your electric appliances on Cape Verde, if the standard voltage in your country is in between - V as is in the UK, Europe, Australia and most of Asia and Africa. Manufacturers take these small deviations into account. If the standard voltage in your country is in the range of V - V as is in the US, Canada and most South American countries , you need a voltage converter on Cape Verde.
If the frequency on Cape Verde 50 Hz differs from the one in your country, it is not advised to use your appliances. But if there is no voltage difference, you could at your own risk try to use the appliance for a short time. Be especially careful with moving, rotating and time related appliances like clocks, shavers or electric fan heaters.
The little houses are very colourful. The lonely beaches in this part of the island are more suited for long, quiet walks than swimming. Unfortunately, the number of robberies on the island has increased together with the rapid development of tourism.
You should never take long walks on secluded beaches by yourself. As on Maio and Sal, you can observe sea turtles laying their eggs on the beaches. Many species are already threatened by extinction, so the Turtle Foundation has set the goal of protecting these valuable animals from being slaughtered despite the ban and defending their nest of eggs against human robbers.
This has also resulted in growing success for their efforts on behalf of these increasingly rare sea creatures. Yet, there is still much to do in order to also anchor the need to protect the sea turtles in the minds of the residents.
Public awareness programmes are also being offered in this respect. Away from the coast, the interior of the island presents a luna-like landscape, home to desert and barren rock-filled vistas, dotted with date trees and the occasional ruins of an abandoned village or building. There are a few festivals on the island of Boa Vista. Plans change from year to year but normally there is the common music festival that takes place in Santa Cruz in August.
The other main festival is:. Celebrated with processions, swimming, horse racing, tours and a public ball.
