Praia's Plateau
The capital's old centre stands on a raised plateau with steep edges, its streets laid out in a regular grid. It reads as a compact block among the looser neighbourhoods spread out below.

About this Santiago map poster
Santiago is the largest island in Cabo Verde and home to about half of the country's population. From above it is long, running north to south, with a mountainous spine of volcanic peaks and deep valleys. Roads wind through the interior between farming towns. The densest streets gather in the south, around the capital, Praia.
Praia's historic core sits on the Plateau, a raised, flat-topped block above the harbour, and newer neighbourhoods spread across the valleys around it. A short way west along the coast lies Cidade Velha, once called Ribeira Grande. It was the first European colonial town in the tropics and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A Santiago map poster traces the island from end to end. It runs from Praia in the south, through inland towns such as Assomada, to Tarrafal and its sheltered bay in the north. The mountains of Serra da Malagueta and Pico da Antónia give the interior a strong, uneven texture of winding roads.

Cidade Velha
West of Praia, the old colonial town sits in a narrow valley that opens onto the sea. Its small street plan is a modest but historically important mark on the southern coast.
Tarrafal bay
At the northern tip, Tarrafal curves around a sandy, sheltered bay. It is where the long north–south road through the island ends, and it closes the composition.

Why Santiago
A map that means something
Santiago matters to many Cabo Verdeans, both on the islands and across the diaspora. Its long outline fits Praia, the inland villages and the northern coast into one frame, and it works well as a tall portrait print.
The title, subtitle and coordinates line can be edited, so the print can carry a town, a family name or a date that matters. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand, as HD files for $9 or as a printed poster.
