Ribeira do Julião (in Cape Verdean Creole, written in ALUPEC: R’bera d Julion) is a ribeira (stream) that flows in the northcentral part of the island of São Vicente in Cape Verde. The stream is entirely dry and flows only during rainy weather even a few days later due to its climate with lack of vegetation.
