Cape Verde, or Cabo Verde, is an island nation located off the northwest coast of Africa, comprising an archipelago of 10 volcanic islands in the central Atlantic Ocean. Known for its captivating music, morna, and stunning beach landscapes, Cape Verde offers a unique blend of African and Portuguese influences. The dominant religion on the islands is Christianity, specifically Roman Catholicism, but Cape Verde is known for its religious tolerance. Prominent areas that are generally friendly to all visitors, including Muslims, include:
- Praia
- Mindelo
- Santa Maria
- Boa Vista
Finding halal food in Cape Verde might require some effort due to its predominantly Christian population. However, in larger urban centers like Praia, one might find restaurants that offer seafood or vegetarian dishes, which could be suitable options for Muslim travelers. Always a good idea to ask local residents or check ahead.
