The magic of Africa, it is also some of the most exciting cities in the world.
1 Windhoek (Namibia)
Guys in leather pants Bavarian bock beer collide them, cook sausage perfuming the air, couples dance to the sound of blaring. All this color, fragrance, taste of Germany, and yet you are thousands of miles away in the capital of Namibia. The thriving atmosphere and gardens are radically different from what is found in other African cities and Windhoek is the only place in Africa where you can bite into an authentic schnitzel.
2 Mindelo (Cape Verde)
Installed around a harbor crescent, Mindelo is Cape Verdean counterpart of the French Riviera. Nothing is missing: cobbled streets, buildings with candy colors, yachts bobbing in the harbor and the famous cigarette in mouth, as Cesaria Evora is here at home. Sweaty days are spent at the cafe, where Cape Verdeans drink a beer, read the newspaper and buy lottery tickets. The nights are hot and start to 23 hours, when you are out in the main squares, that orchestras begin local tunes and let the fun begin.
In the evening, boys and girls play football on the beach. Then they wander on Pracinha, where you really taste the magic of Mindelo.
3 Maputo (Mozambique)
With a charm that evokes both Brazil and the Mediterranean, Maputo is one of the most carefree cities on the continent. During the day, we savor espresso at sidewalk cafes in the evening, guests are treated to spicy tiger prawns in restaurants of the seaside and at nightfall, caipirinhas (cachaça, lime, sugar and ice) drinking in bars, to the sound of salsa and jazz. Fringed beaches palm-lined avenues and flamboyant countless markets complete a remarkable picture for a city still at war there is little.
4 Alexandria (Egypt)
Alexandria was once attracted Alexander the Great, Caesar and Napoleon, among other great men. Á like the current residents, perhaps they have tasted the pleasure down the Corniche, the long promenade sea cooled by the breeze. Or perhaps was it the cultural prestige of the city that motivated. Alexandria, which once housed the largest library in the world, now has a modern building with reading rooms divided into 14 terraces and a large rotunda that can accommodate 8 million pounds.
Treat yourself to a cocktail on the terrace of the El-Salamlek Palace Hotel, one of the favorite places of King Farouk, which enjoys a sovereign city views.
5. Accra (Ghana)
The weekend is the time for beach parties Accra, capital of Ghana, located by the sea. Stars twinkle above the sand lined with palm trees, the waves of the Atlantic guess behind reggae DJs. Partygoers chew slices of plantain seasoned with salt, ginger and cayenne pepper, and cool off with a Guinness. In short, it's the next cool Africa. And, meanwhile, chic resorts continue to multiply.
