Mindelo marina is superb.  Full of yachts getting ready to make the crossing there was a real sense of anticipation.

 

 

Mindelo town was functional and reasonably attractive in parts but mostly not attractive at all.

 

As you would expect from an island there was not a lot to be had provision wise other than the very basics so we were pleased to have done most of our shopping in Lanzarotte.  The veg market was entertaining, and quite pricy.  If you are a resident you show your ID card and get a different price to the rest of us.

 

 

 

The Jamon Iberico had been a huge success but we fared rather better with the carving once we had Michaels expertise.
