Cobblestone Road Construction

Description

A group of workers repair a cobblestone road in Ribeira Brava, the main city on São Nicolau. The cit is known for cobblestone roads and beautiful, colorful architecture. Until the closing of a local seminary school in the early 20th century, Ribeira Brava was also the intellectual center of Cape Verde.

The pictured landscape, located in the hinterland of the São Nicolau, is unusually fertile and produces more agriculturally than almost any other island in the archipelago.
