The island
Brava is the smallest inhabited island of Cabo Verde, in the southwest of the archipelago just west of Fogo. It is often called the Island of Flowers, for the gardens and greenery that grow on its cooler, higher ground. On a map it forms a compact, nearly round shape. It rises steeply from the sea to a central plateau and a series of peaks.
Nova Sintra, the main town, sits in the uplands above the coast, a small grid of streets with a central square. A winding road runs down from there to the harbour at Furna, which lies in an old volcanic crater on the northeastern shore. Boats from Fogo arrive there. Other roads loop through the interior to villages on the slopes, following ridges and valleys.
Brava has a long history of emigration, especially to New England. Many families there trace their roots to the island through the whaling ships that called at Brava in the nineteenth century. A Brava map poster holds that story in a small, compact form: a ring of cliffs, a mountain town and a road winding down to the sea.
The main town sits on the high plateau rather than the coast. Its compact grid of streets and squares is the densest detail on the island.
The island’s port lies in a sheltered bay formed by an old crater on the northeast coast. It makes a rounded notch in an otherwise steep shoreline.
Roads switch back down from the plateau to the coast and out to hillside villages. Their curves follow the island’s steep ridges and valleys.

Why Brava
For Cabo Verdean families abroad, especially those in New England with roots on the island, a map of Brava is a link to home. It also suits anyone drawn to small volcanic islands with a strong, simple outline.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, perhaps with a family village or the date someone left or returned. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Sand and Paper give the island a warm, gentle tone.
