   We travelled from Luanda to Benguela by car, trying to revive the days Kapuscinky was in this last city. Definitely, Bengela today did not make us fly black to those days described in his book “Ébano”. Honstly, beyond the fact it is a coastal city and a couple of churches, no major attractive found in Benguela. NOTE: The road from Luanda to Benguela is still is terribly bad, with many parts absolutely destroyed from the colonial times, which makes the trip not very pleasant. See more..
