Praia

A route view of Cape Verde should keep its 4,033 km2 scale and no land-border connections in mind before a straight-line distance is treated as road distance. The coastal or island character of Cape Verde changes what a traveler should inspect first: inland boundaries, coastal access, or local roads around Praia.
