Port Louis

Located beneath towering mountain peaks, Port Louis makes an impression seen from the plateau with its frenetic center on the ocean in a frieze that seems to defy perspective. A wonderful experience. Despite being the national capital, the main economic center and the country's largest city, Port Louis occupies a rather strange place in the psyche of local people. The wealthier classes have traditionally lived outside the city, especially in the towns of Rose Hill, Quatre Bornes, Moka and Vacoas. This trend still continues nowadays, and Port Louis (the final s is usually silent) can sometimes seem like a city with no middle class, no centre and a ghost town after dark. This impression is totally false, however - Port Louis has a lot to offer, those who only visit the fantastic Caudan Waterfront will get a very bland impression of the national capital. The hustle and bustle of the streets, the city's famous market, Chinatown, collection of museums and wonderfully preserved colonial buildings make Port Louis much more than a place to shop away from the beach.

Port Elizabeth

Cape Town

In the heart of South Africa's breathtaking landscapes, there is a city shrouded in mystical aura and historical mysteries, and it’s Cape Town.

The island's appearance changed in 1730 as a result of the eruption of Timanfaya.

Currently, the coast of Lanzarote is full of paths that reach inland villages through the Timanfaya National Park, an evocative landscape with an almost lunar atmosphere.
