Covoada
You have to make quite an effort to get to this village in Sao Nicolau. We entered Covoada from the Canyon to the right, starting at Ribeira Funda by the sea. It took a couple of hours of steep climbing to reach our goal.

Sao Nicolau/Cape Verde June 11.
The highway to Covoada
One of the most isolated villages in Sao Nicolau, some seven kilometers northwest of Ribeira Brava.
After climbing the trail visible on this image you have to descend more or less the same distance on the other side to reach Covoada.
Many villagers walks the distance every day, with or without donkey !! Cape Verde, June 17.
