Cape Verde
Cape Verde is an Atlantic archipelago of ten volcanic islands sitting roughly 570 kilometres off the west coast of Africa, shaped as much by the sea as by the desert winds that blow in from the Sahara. The islands range from the sharp, green peaks of Santo Antão to the flat salt flats of Sal, and the culture — a blend of Portuguese colonial history and West African rhythm — is distilled most purely in the melancholic music called morna.
About Cape Verde
Overview
Located in the central Atlantic Ocean, Cape Verde comprises ten islands and several islets, with Praia on Santiago island serving as the capital. Portuguese is the official language, though Creole is the everyday tongue. The country uses the Cape Verdean escudo, pegged to the euro. Politically stable and democratic, it holds a distinct identity that bridges Africa, Europe, and the Atlantic diaspora.
