green valleys with sugarcane & banana-trees,
small fishing-villages.

It's a good place for short and long walks in the mountains or along the coast.

On the nothern coast of Santo Antão is Ribeira Grande , the capital of the island.

Ribeira Grande is situated at the mouth of two valleys, the Ribeira Grande and the Ribeira de Torre.
