Santiago is located at the center of the leeward islands and is the biggest island in the Archipelago. "Antonio" is well known as the highest point of the mountainous island peaks. The result of hundreds of years of erosion, deep and beautiful valleys dazzle the eyes for miles and miles. There is a great contrast between the mild and humid climate of the higher regions and the dry and arid climate in the low regions. The food is wonderfully rich and extremely varied all over the island. Fresh fish, delicious shellfish and the famous 'Cachupa' are some of the most delectable dishes you will ever taste. Don't miss the fine city of Cidade da Praia. A walk through this lovely town and its pleasant esplanades help the locals to unwind all year round. Santiago Island is a great place to call home.
