Notez que tous les distributeurs automatiques n’acceptent pas les cartes internationales, et il faut parfois retirer de l’argent aux guichets des banques. De plus, la Mastercard n’est pas acceptée dans tous les distributeurs automatiques ni dans tous les terminaux de paiement électroniques. Mieux vaut se munir d’argent liquide. Par ailleurs, beaucoup d’endroits accepteront les euros.

In October, the climate in Cape Verde is particularly hot and can reach a temperature of 30°C. November is the first month of the dry season. It can be marked by the absence of rain and the beginning of a drop in temperatures which vary between 26 and 29 degrees, while the waters of the Atlantic Ocean oscillate between 24 and 28 degrees.
