     Location

    Tarrafal is a small, laid-back town located on the northern coast of Santiago Island, the largest island in Cape Verde. Known for its beautiful crescent-shaped beach, clear turquoise waters, and surrounding mountains, Tarrafal is a hidden gem that offers a peaceful escape from busier tourist spots. The town has a friendly local vibe, with colourful markets, small cafes, and a strong sense of community. It's also a place of historical importance, home to the Tarrafal Concentration Camp museum, a reminder of Cape Verde’s colonial past.
