  • Hello, the island was first named "Manuel da Mota", then "Mota", then "Acadó" and finally "Akhada". We have records of the history of the island for at least 300 years as it is part of my family's history too. If you wish to know about it, kindly send me a message to vsveiga@vsv-a.com Best regards
