LIVRARIA NHÔ EUGENIO
Read moreMore than a simple store, it is also a cultural center and a friendly space where people come to exchange while drinking a coffee. Since 2008, the principle is to encourage reading and to promote national authors and books in general. The place has a small terrace that hosts photo exhibitions. In addition to specialized manuals, one can acquire beautiful books on the archipelago as well as a vast choice of Cape Verdean music. The mostly female staff will be happy to give you advice with a smile.
PRAIA SHOPPING
Read moreOpened in 2012 along the coastal road, it's the only shopping mall worthy of the name in Praia (indeed, in the whole country), with all the clothes stores, cinemas, fast-food restaurants and services you'd expect... Unfortunately, it looks more like a ghost ship, as most of the stores are no longer operational. However, the cinema is still in operation, and there's a large, useful and functional grocery store in the basement, as well as an open-air food court.
