Casa Diáspora
The location
Nine minutes from the runway
Most arrivals in West Africa begin with a long road. This one does not. Osvaldo Vieira International is a short drive away — long enough to watch the city begin, short enough that you are unpacking before the journey has caught up with you.
The house sits in Bairro Penha, a residential corner of Bissau where the traffic thins and the evenings are quiet. Close enough to the centre to be there in minutes; far enough that you will hear the morning before you hear the road.
- Getting here
- 9 minutes from Osvaldo Vieira International Airport — 4.4 km by road
- Bairro Penha, Bissau — a quiet residential neighbourhood
- Minutes from the centre of Bissau

The place
Guinea-Bissau
A small country with a long memory. Kriol in the markets, cashew orchards inland, and off the coast the Bijagós — eighty-eight islands scattered into the Atlantic, most of them left to the turtles and the mangroves. Casa Diáspora sits within reach of all of it, and quietly apart from it.
