Travel Cape Verde

Official Name of Cape Verde: Republic of Cape Verde
Government type in Cape Verde: republic
Capital of Cape Verde: Praia
Primary Language in Cape Verde: Portuguese, Crioulo (a blend of Portuguese and West African words)
Currency in Cape Verde: Cape Verdean escudo (CVE)

The uninhabited islands were discovered and colonized by the Portuguese in the 15th century; Cape Verde subsequently became a trading center for African slaves and later an important coaling and resupply stop for whaling and transatlantic shipping. Following independence in 1975, and a tentative interest in unification with Guinea-Bissau, a one-party system was established and maintained until multi-party elections were held in 1990. Cape Verde continues to exhibit one of Africa's most stable democratic governments. Repeated droughts during the second half of the 20th century caused significant hardship and prompted heavy emigration. As a result, Cape Verde's expatriate population is greater than its domestic one. Most Cape Verdeans have both African and Portuguese antecedents.
