Cape Verde Links

Summary

Travelling around Luxembourg, one is ever aware of the influence of the Cape Verde islands. Conversely, in Cape Verde one notices the influence of Luxembourg. We explore the reciprocal relationship between the Grand Duchy and the island archipelago in the Atlantic.

Anyone bound for the island of Santo Antão must take the boat. This most westerly of the islands in the Cape Verde archipelago once had a small aerodrome, but it was closed in the 1990s on safety grounds. Unpredictable Atlantic winds simply made the airport too dangerous to use. So these days the boats to Santo Antão do a steady trade, shuttling passengers and freight over from neighbouring São Vicente. The boats all land at Porto Novo on Santo Antão, where new arrivals are often surprised to discover that the smart ferry terminal was paid for in part by a grant from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Night Vision: Sleeping through Europe
Feature

By Nicky Gardner

Changing attitudes towards travel, prompted in part by a fuller appreciation of how air travel is causing climate change, are helping fuel a renaissance in rail travel across Europe. That’s as true of overnight services as it is of day trains. But new night sleeper services require dedicated carriages that will take time to build. And there are some major regulatory issues to be addressed if we are to see Europe’s night trains reaching their full potential.

In the Eye of the Beholder
Perspective

By Nicky Gardner

Attitudes towards mountain landscapes have changed dramatically over the years. Alpine scenes once reviled for their bleak desolation were rehabilitated in the Romantic era. Travellers now appreciate such scenes for their grandeur and great beauty. Attitudes towards the people who lived in the hills changed too. Once widely stigmatized as uncultured primitives, they came to be praised for their moral virtue.
