Description: The Cape Verde Islands are an archipelago of nine inhabited islands, which lie about 560 miles west of Dakar. Formerly a Portuguese colony, since 1975 the archipelago is now the independent state "Republica de Cabo Verde" or "Cape Verde".
Made up of 10 volcanic islands and five tiny islets, Cape Verde combines spectacular mountain ranges with deserted beaches. Each individual island has its own character, from lush and lively Santiago to the quiet diving islet of Boa Vista. The islands have some of the best windsurfing conditions in the world, and diving is a treat, with many 16th century shipwrecks lining the ocean floor.
