Fajã de Água

Fajã de Agua is a village on the northwestern coast of the island of Brava, Cape Verde.

[3] A small airport named Esperadinha with a paved runway was inaugurated in Fajã de Água in 1992.

It connected Brava with the nearby islands of Fogo and Santiago, but was closed in 2004 because of frequent strong winds which make landing impossible.

[4] Opposite the small church at the Northern end of Main Street there is a sightworthy monument (Monumento aos Emigrantes) which was erected in 1993.

It reminds on the sailing ship Matilde which left Fajã de Água for America on 21 August 1943.
