We were in Mindelo just before Covid and will be there again in November. We did a tour with a local company called Green Line Tours. Was really good. I noticed on the website that the owners collect school supplies for needy children. Brought a big bag of stuff along. Pablo (the husband) stopped at a small village for me to hand out stuff. I'm going to check if they are still in business.....btw.....if you are a golfer, check out the golf course. Totally grassless.
