Short description of Neves

Neves is the working corner of the island, a fishing and industrial town where the national brewery stands beside a fuel jetty and a power plant. Tourism sits just up the coast at Ponta Figo, where a cliff top lodge looks down on its own beach and runs the walking programme into the western rainforest. The cocoa estate at Diogo Vaz is part of the world heritage listing and turns its beans into chocolate on site. The road north from here narrows and finally stops, which is how the wildest part of the coast stayed that way.
