Church of Ribeira Brava

Highlight • Religious Site

The small church is worth seeing. It even became a bishop's seat, but only after the bishop ordered the church to be enlarged. That is why the church is now as high as the church tower.

Steep Paved Road Through the Valley of Cape Verde

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Nice Valley with paved road without traffic as it is too steep for cars. It follows the dry river. Local houses are along most of the road. Views are astonishing
