Monte Cara is a mountain in western part of the island of São Vicente, Cape Verde. Its elevation is 490 m.[2] It resembles a human face looking at the sky, hence its name, which means "face mountain" in Portuguese. It is a landmark of the city of Mindelo, from which it can be seen across Porto Grande Bay.[2]
The album Voz d'Amor (2003) by Cesária Évora contains the song Monte Cara.[3]
