Cape Verde, Cape Verde

Displayed:   times.

The Cape Verde Islands is West most of Africa. After its first
discovery in the 15th century by the Portuguese, it has become a commonly visited area by the Seafarers and Traders who sail between Europe, Africa and Latin America as is evident by its culture. The island has a dry climate (specially in the Leeward islands) and has suffered years of deforestation, over-cultivation and rather erratic weather, leaving the country’s economy comparatively fragile. Although the Portuguese named it after its luscious green, Cape Verde no longer remains true to its name. However, it has enough and more to offer its visitors, with its long, white sand beaches, vibrant Creole culture and good conditions for water sports. Since it is kind of cut-off from the other parts, its route remains un-spoilt and leaves many areas to be discovered as yet. Unusual, but attractive – that is Cape Verde for you. The Government is on its way to developing the tourist industry and expand the infrastructure to house the ever-increasing visitors to the place.

Cape Verde consists of 9 inhabited islands. More info on: www.ecowas.info
