In Fogo island, staying in São Filipe.
Fogo has stunning landscapes. It’s the hottest of the 3 islands I’ve been to so far. Black sand beaches are gorgeous.
Trekked halfway up Mount Pico yesterday and had to turn back because of strong winds. Wasn’t safe for anyone.
Fogo cheese and wine are really good. The grapes and cheese are produced around the volcano area.
Coffee beans are grown in Mosteira.
Salinas beach is the only safe place for swimming. Other beaches are good just for walking and photos. It’s where the ocean meets the coast. Not suitable for swimming.
I'm here for another week, then off to Brava.
Fogo is a great place to come for rest, relaxation and unwinding.
