Furna, village in Cape Verde
Furna is a small settlement on the island of Sal in Cape Verde. The locality sits in a flat, arid landscape with scattered houses and a quiet, sparse character throughout.
Furna developed as a traditional coastal settlement shaped by fishing and local trade. The place remained a modest village over generations, maintaining strong ties to the island community.
The settlement is best reached on foot or by rental vehicle, as public transport is limited or nonexistent. Bring plenty of water and sun protection, since the area is open and offers little shade.
Furna offers direct access to coastal areas that teem with marine life during certain seasons. This proximity to the sea traditionally made it a key spot for local crafts and nature watching.
