São Vicente, Administrative territory in Barlavento Islands, Cape Verde.
The county extends over 226.7 square kilometers with Monte Verde peak reaching 744 meters above sea level on this volcanic island.
Portuguese explorer Diogo Afonso discovered this territory on January 22, 1462, which remained uninhabited until the establishment of cattle pastures.
The county capital Mindelo serves as a primary center for music development, particularly contributing to the evolution of coladeira and morna.
The territory maintains an international airport, Cesária Évora, and Porto Grande harbor facilitates maritime transportation for the entire archipelago.
São Vicente experiences only 127 millimeters of annual rainfall near Mindelo, creating specific conditions for desert vegetation adaptation.
