São Filipe is the main town on Fogo island, dominated by Pico do Fogo, an active volcano that last erupted in 2014. The town has Portuguese colonial architecture and the "sobrados" (grand old houses) are a highlight. Wine is produced on the volcano slopes, making this one of the more unusual wine regions anywhere.
