About Cape Verde
The volcanic archipelago of Cape Verde is a closely knit group of
10 islands and 5 islets in the Atlantic Ocean, some 600km west of Senegal.
Only Pico do Cano, on Fogo, is active.
Cape Verde Island Groups
The northern Barlavento group of Cape Verde includes Santo Antao,
Sao Vicente, Santa Luzia, Sao Nicolau, Sal, and Boa Vista.
The southern Sotavento group embraces Sao Tiago, Brava, Fogo, and
Maio.
The Portuguese colonised the islands in the 1460's, although they
did very little with them until the slave trade took off in the mid 1500's.
Cape Verde became independent on July 5th, 1975.

activity in a place with very little arable land and barely enough rainfall to water it.
