Mosteiros is a seaside city in the northwestern part of the Cape Verdean island of Santo Antão, known for its rugged coastline and volcanic landscape. As the second largest city on the island, it has about 15,000 inhabitants and an economy based on fishing, agriculture (mainly bananas and sugarcane) and an emerging tourism industry. The black sand beaches surrounding the city contrast with the cliffs and attract surfers and nature lovers. The local culture is a blend of African and Portuguese traditions, with a vibrant Carnival celebration every February. Despite its small size, Moshteloush is one of the ideal destinations to experience the charms of the Cape Verdean islands with its pristine natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere.
