Cova Rodela (Cape Verdean Creole: Kuva Rodela[citation needed]), is a village in the middle of the island of Brava, Cape Verde. The village is situated in the mountains, 1 km west of the island capital Nova Sintra. There are good walking paths to the island's tallest mountain Monte Fontainhas. Most of the inhabitants of the village live on agriculture, growing maize and bananas. In the main street there is a noteworthy old dragon tree (Dracaena draco). Cova Rodela can be reached easily by alguer busses from Vila Nova Sintra and from other villages on Brava.
Many windows in Cova Rodela look similar to those which were common in New England in the 19th century.[2]
