BRAVA - THE ISLAND OF THE BRAVE



Brave are the ones that live in Brava. Brave are the ones that decide to travel there. Remote, isolated, these can be ironic words to describe an island only 15km distant from neighbouring Fogo island. But rough sea conditions and no plane connections makes this tiny capeverdian island a destination or a home only for the fearless.
The smallest of the islands that compose Cape Verde archipelago has the "Flowers island" nickname due to its mild climate, and its charming capital Nova Sintra proudly shows its simple colonial architecture as a jewel.
Take a look at this new feature by photographer Luis Filipe Catarino here.
