Fajã de Agua

Fajã de Agua

Fajã de Agua (in Cape Verdean Creole, written in ALUPEC: "Fajan di Água"), is a community in the northwestern part of the island of Brava, Cape Verde. The area around Furna is surrounded by mountains to the east and the south with a small valley within the coastline and is linked with a road leading to the island's capital of Vila Nova Sintra, as well as the rest of the island. A small airport with an unpaved runway in Fajã de Agua connected Brava with the nearby islands of Fogo and Santiago, however it closed down in the 1990s and is no longer in use. A small bay covers the western part and several capes are not far from Fajã de Agua.
