A little history about my homeland: Cape Verde or Cabo Verde is an island country spanning an archipelago of 10 volcanic islands in the central Atlantic Ocean. Located 350 miles off the coast of Western Africa, the islands cover a combined area of slightly over 1,500 sq mi. Portuguese explorers discovered and colonized the uninhabited islands in the 15th century, the first European settlement in the tropics. Ideally located for the Atlantic slave trade. Cape Verde got its independence from Portugal in 1975. The population is only a little over half a million people. For such a small country we do amazing things! Tag a friend thats Cape Verdean..
