To the east of Baía das Gatas, São Vicente Island, Cape Verde, there is a wild beach called Praia do Norte ("North Beach"). Nearby, on the base of Monte Verde, there is a poor, isolated village. Near the beach somebody built this naive monument, mostly of volcanic rock, like the island itself. I don't know more about it, but this arch recalls me an outstanding song of Tubarões called ♫ ♪ Porton d'Nós Ilha ("Gate of Our Island" or "Big Door of Our Island"), a poem of Renato Cardoso; that’s a wonderful morna (Cape-Verdean type of song).
In workshops there is the same arch from a different POV and a more general view for location, from the hill towards the sea, with the village of Baía das Gatas in background.

♫ ♪ Porton d'Nós Ilha ("Portão da Nossa Ilha", ou "das Nossas Ilhas") é um belo poema de Renato Cardoso, cantado pelos Tubarões. Não sei se há alguma relação entre essa bela morna e este arco na Praia do Norte, perto da Baía das Gatas, na ilha de São Vicente.
