Mosteiros, Municipality on Fogo Island, Cape Verde.

The municipality extends across 89 square kilometers of northeastern Fogo, between the Atlantic Ocean and the slopes of Pico do Fogo volcano.

The administrative division of Mosteiros emerged in January 1992 when the former Municipality of Fogo split into two separate entities: Mosteiros and São Filipe.

Nossa Senhora da Ajuda parish organizes celebrations on August 15, bringing together residents from all settlements within the municipality for traditional festivities.

The municipality contains several settlements including Achada Grande, Atalaia, and Corvo, with regular aluguer bus connections to São Filipe throughout the day.

The region maintains coffee plantations at elevations from 350 to 1,300 meters, producing approximately 100 tonnes of coffee annually in volcanic soil conditions.
