Short description of Luanda
Luanda is one of the largest Portuguese speaking cities anywhere and for years it was also the most expensive city on earth to live in, which tells you what the oil money did here. The rebuilt bay promenade is the centre of public life and the fortress above it, raised in fifteen seventy six, now holds the armed forces museum. A long sandspit of beach bars closes off the bay and fills up every single weekend. Small boats cross over to Mussulo from the terminals on the waterfront. Almost everything about the city is on a very large scale.
