Cape Verde v Canaries

Better in what way? Which islands? Canaries are more developed and cater well to tourists, cape Verde islands are what the canaries were like before mass tourism and infrastructure took over.

well aren't you a charming imbecile…

Doesn't the Cape Verde island of Sal promote food poisoning?

Been there, and Zanzibar. Never again to either. If you want a canary island without the fuss, then La Gomera is very nice.

Very grubby, nice ish scenery , but dirty,,, locals too not the most trustworthy eys say. Zanzibar was bit better, but the tide runs out maybe a km and you're left with just sharp coral and no beaches. Probably will do somewhere in Asia next time
