| Destination | Ilha de Mozambique |
The fascinating mix of African, Arab and European culture and history is displayed in the churches and mosques, beautiful colonial buildings and small traditional houses, the imposing fort, the old Portuguese houses (some dating back to the sixteenth century), the well-maintained, interesting museums and above all in the local population, their culture and their incredibly varied faces.
The Fortaleza São Sebastião is the oldest non-indigenous building in the southern hemisphere. More and more guest houses and small hotels are being opened in restored buildings, offering comfortable and charming accommodation at varied but never expensive levels, and contributing to the slow restoration of the island's former splendours.
