Geography and Information

Desert sands dominates the area around the village with hills to the northeast, vegetation are within the villages and the coastline including palm trees which covers much of its agriculture. Other fruits and vegetables and wheat are exported from other parts of Cape Verde that has a wetter climate since farm size is very small.

The village is in the island's low to middle class class. Some houses are built with mud-brick and stone, the rest are concrete or sand with stone and now more houses are built with brick and steel reinforced concrete. Until the 1980s, all of its population are farmers and are based in agriculture. However, a part of the needy materials comes from the island capital, the island capital and the diaspora. But for other needs, electricity, communications and appliances are partially available in the area as well as phone lines since the mid to late-20th century. A part of the necessities also comes from the island capital.
