So Domingos, Cape VerdeSo Domingos is the youngest and smallest of the Cape Verdean municipalities, having been been until recently a subset of the Praia concelho. The So Domingos muncipality was formed primarily to relieve the Camara Muncipal da Praia of the adminstrative difficulties involved in managing both a large capital city (Praia) in addition to agrarian villages. The So Domingos concelho includes two roads, one of which was widened to three lanes and paved in 2004. The two major settlements in the concelho are So Domingos and Praia Baixo, So Domingos (pop: 13,000) being by far the largest settlement in the area. Smaller settlements surround the area include Agua do Gato, Banana and the Rui Vaz, which is situated on the edge of a 1 km high cliff overlooking Ribeirao Galinha. While Rui Vaz and Praia Baixo are the main tourist draws in the area, tourism does not constitute a major factor in the region's overwhelmingly agrarian economy.
