Cape Verde · mediterranean

🌍

Vila Nova de Sintra (Brava) is a village of roughly 3,000 people on an island in Cape Verde. The climate is mediterranean. It keeps a balanced mix of locals and visitors and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $1,100. Healthcare is reasonable, and the internet can be patchy for heavy remote work. People come here for hiking, gardening and rural life, live music.

È un’isola ben collegata d’estate e molto meno d’inverno, e questo cambia molto per chi ci vive tutto l’anno. È uno dei posti dove vivere fuori rete è davvero praticabile, sia per legge sia per spazio.
