Brava, Administrative municipality in Brava Island, Cape Verde.
The smallest inhabited island in Cape Verde spans 67 square kilometers, featuring steep rocky coastlines and mountain landscapes reaching 976 meters at Monte Fontainhas point.
Portuguese explorer Diogo Afonso discovered Brava in 1462, with settlement increasing after the 1680 volcanic eruption on Fogo island forced residents to relocate here.
The municipality celebrates its annual day on June 24, marking Saint John's feast with traditional festivities that gather residents from both parishes of the region.
Visitors reach Brava through regular ferry services from Fogo island, operating two to three times weekly, with Nova Sintra serving as the administrative center.
The dense mountain vegetation and persistent cloud coverage create specific climate conditions that support the growth of numerous plant species throughout the territory.
