I have a week of annual leave in December and really wanting to go somewhere hot but not long haul.
I stumbled across Cape Verde but know nothing about it. Has anyone been and can advise if this is a relaxing hot destination and if so which island to go to?

Hmmm it looks pretty but I don’t think it’s our kind of holiday reading that. I like to be somewhere I can walk to a nearby town and have a look round etc. I think personally I would go mad being stuck at a resort all week. I guess we’re all different…! Thank you for replying.

@Afterfire There are quite a few differences between the islands from when I looked. If you're looking for loads of cultural stuff, available activities etc then the islands with direct flights to UK probably aren't going to tick your boxes. We weren't, so we loved it for a December break.
Sea where we were varied along the coastline but there wasn't a stretch without someone in the water! See attached for a typical example. There were bigger waves than this down the coast for those after windsurfing/kitesurfing.
If you're not up for lying on a beach/watersports/chilled holiday with just the odd day of organised activity then it's probably not a fit.
