Distances are in a straight line from the middle of Paulo Lopes, to spots that land joins: none across a bay or on another island. A drive marked "about" is our estimate: the straight line times 1.8 minutes a km, measured on the drives we have routed (half of those come within 21% of the routed time).

Further out

These spots are more than 20 km from Paulo Lopes. It is the nearest town with beds, so they stay here.
