Administrative Divisions Of Cabo Verde
The territory of Cape Verde is divided into 22 ''concelhos'' (municipalities), and subdivided into 32 ''freguesias'' (equivalent to civil parish). In Portuguese language usage, there are two words to distinguish the territory and the administrative organ. Administratively, right below the government, there are the ''municípios'' (municipalities), who administrate the ''concelhos''. Therefore, the ''concelhos'' are the first-level administrative subdivision in Cape Verde. Each municipality has an ''Assembleia Municipal'' (municipal assembly, the legislative body) and a ''Câmara Municipal'' (municipal chamber, the executive body). Every four years elections are held for the Assembleia Municipal, the Câmara Municipal and the President of the Câmara Municipal. Where a municipality consists of several ''freguesias'' (civil parishes), a ''Delegação Municipal'' (municipal delegation) is established in the parishes that do not contain the municipal seat. The islands are traditional ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tarrafal De Monte Trigo
Tarrafal de Monte Trigo is a settlement in the southwestern part of the island of Santo Antão, Cape Verde. In 2010 its population was 841. It is situated on the coast, 27 km west of the island capital Porto Novo. The settlement was mentioned as ''Terrafal'' in the 1747 map by Jacques-Nicolas Bellin. History Tarrafal de Monte Trigo is a rather long name considered important to avoid confusing it with other tarrafals in Cape Verde. There are over four of them, one on São Nicolau, and even another one on the island of Santo Antão, which is not really a village, but a section of Ribeira Grande, one of the largest towns on the island. The name Tarrafal comes from the shrub/tree ''Tamarix senegalensis'' or Tamarisk, called Tarrafe in Cape Verde. In February 2021, work on the road to the village was declared finished with an inauguration ceremony.
