Cape Verde/ˌkeɪpˈvɜːrd/ or Cabo Verde/kɑːboʊˈvɜːrdeɪ/, /kæ-/ (Portuguese:Cabo Verde, pronounced:[ˈkabu ˈveɾdɨ]), officially the Republic of Cabo Verde, is an island country spanning an archipelago of 10 volcanic islands in the central Atlantic Ocean. Located 570 kilometres (350mi) off the coast of Western Africa, the islands cover a combined area of slightly over 4,000 square kilometres (1,500sqmi).
The Cape Verde archipelago was uninhabited until the 15th century, when Portuguese explorers discovered and colonized the islands, establishing the first European settlement in the tropics. Ideally located for the Atlantic slave trade, the islands grew prosperous throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, attracting merchants, privateers, and pirates. The end of slavery in the 19th century led to economic decline and emigration, although Cape Verde gradually recovered as an important commercial center and stopover for shipping routes. Incorporated as an overseas department of Portugal in 1951, the islands continued to agitate for independence, which was peacefully achieved in 1975.
Cape Verde was a colony of the Portuguese Empire from the initial settlement of the Cape Verde Islands in 1462 until the independence of Cape Verde in 1975.
Prior to its settlement by the Portuguese, Cape Verde was uninhabited.

More Cape Verde citizens keen to leave due to various factors
Cape Verde is a collection of 12 islands off the coast of North-west Africa. Here, foreigners outnumber locals, and 9 percent of the country's GDP comes from expatriates. Cape Verde has few natural resources, little arable land and is prone to drought - just some of the reasons why many residents are desperate to move to greener pastures.

Cape Verde has grown into a great nation grossing in an annual GDP of $2.042 billion and with a GDP per capita of $3,651. They left their colonial days behind to become one of best democracies in Africa currently led by President Jorge Carlos Fonseca. Cape Verde is known for its beauty, football and economy but here are top 10 things you probably didn’t know about Cape Verde.
1. Island Santa Luzia is Uninhabited
The island of Santa Luzia is uninhabited, which means you can only visit from Calhau. Located on the east coast of Sao Vicente Island, you can rent a fishing boat for the day and make your way across this two-hour crossing. This island is celebrated for its beautiful white beaches and high sand dunes. Santa Luzia is the group’s smallest island and also uninhabited for almost all of the past two centuries. Today it’s a nature reserve, and home to a lizard found only here which makes tourist, explorers and geographers fascinated by the island.
2. Cape Verde Has Pledged to Run on 100% Renewable Energy by 2020
Cape Verde had pledged to supply the nation’s entire power needs through renewable energy by this year, 2020. Currently, the nation’s half a million populace have to import all their fossil fuels since Cape Verde has no mineral deposits and very little arable farmland, but it does get a lot of wind and sun. The government wants to capitalize on these natural resources. It hopes that the country will eventually no longer have to be dependent on imports for power. To this end, it has set up Project Cabeolicato deliver wind power across all populated islands. Currently, 30 wind turbines located on four islands supply about 25% of the electricity needed. This figure can peak at 35% of demand supplied. The aim is to stop using fossil fuels altogether, which will cut carbon emissions, as well as create jobs. 20% of Cape Verde nationals live in poverty, so the drive towards total renewable energy will help the national economy too.
3. Santiago Is Home to a 500-Year-Old Church
Cape Verde has the oldest colonial church in the tropics which is situated in CidadeVelha on Santiago Island. The 500-year

Cape Verde is a collection of 12 islands off the coast of North-west Africa. Here, foreigners outnumber locals, and 9 percent of the country's GDP comes from expatriates. Cape Verde has few natural resources, little arable land and is prone to drought - just some of the reasons why many residents are desperate to move to greener pastures.

Green mountains, barren rocks and wide beaches: This documentary presents life and survival on the idiosyncratic Cape Verde Islands in the middle of the Atlantic, where the islanders confront difficulties with a smile.
Clad in just a protective suit and a mask, José Antonio catches lobsters with his bare hands in the up to 10-meter-deep waters off the beach and surf island of Sal, then sells them to restaurants in Santa Maria.
From the harbour on São Vicente, ferries leave bound for the neighbouring green island of Santo Antão. They transport vegetables, goats and normal passengers - well, death defying would be the better description. Several of the aged tugs ended their journeys on the seabed.
Lucia Lopez carries her wares from the islands fish market on her head, over a high mountain and into the remote village of Covada - on foot and mostly with a smile on her lips.
Cape Verde. What's Inside is a video about me exploring the volcanic island of Cape Verde with my friends. We take you on a tour around Sal, Espargos, Santa Maria beach, the salt lake and explore some of the restaurants and countless interesting places to visit. Do like watch and Enjoy!!!

Top 10 Things About Cape Verde
Welcome to Displore and Thanks for watching, As you all know it is always a pleasure presenting to you interesting facts about the beautiful countries in Africa. In today’s video we are taking you to one of the most beautiful islands in Africa, Cape Verde and we are presenting to you some lesser known facts about this beautiful island country. Cape Verde officially the Republic of Cabo Verde, is an island country spanning an archipelago of 10 volcanic islands in the central Atlantic Ocean. It forms part of the Macaronesia ecoregion, along with the Azores, Canary Islands, Madeira, and the Savage Isles. Located 570km west of the Cape Verde Peninsula off the coast of Northwest Africa, the islands cover a combined area of 4,033km2. The Cape Verde archipelago was uninhabited until the 15th century, when Portuguese explorers discovered and colonized the islands, establishing the first European settlement in the tropics. Ideally located for the Atlantic slave trade, the islands grew prosperous throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, attracting merchants, privateers, and pirates. The end of transatlantic slavery in the 19th century led to economic decline and emigration. Cape Verde gradually recovered as an important commercial center and stopover for shipping routes. Incorporated as an overseas department of Portugal in 1951, the islands continued to campaign for independence, which was achieved in 1975.

Cape Verde has grown into a great nation grossing in an annual GDP of $2.042 billion and with a GDP per capita of $3,651. They left their colonial days behind to become one of best democracies in Africa currently led by President Jorge Carlos Fonseca. Cape Verde is known for its beauty, football and economy but here are top 10 things you probably didn’t know about Cape Verde.
1. Island Santa Luzia is Uninhabited
The island of Santa Luzia is uninhabited, which means you can only visit from Calhau. Located on the east coast of Sao Vicente Island, you can rent a fishing boat for the day and make your way across this two-hour crossing. This island is celebrated for its beautiful white beaches and high sand dunes. Santa Luzia is the group’s smallest island and also uninhabited for almost all of the past two centuries. Today it’s a nature reserve, and home to a lizard found only here which makes tourist, explorers and geographers fascinated by the island.
2. Cape Verde Has Pledged to Run on 100% Renewable Energy by 2020
Cape Verde had pledged to supply the nation’s entire power needs through renewable energy by this year, 2020. Currently, the nation’s half a million populace have to import all their fossil fuels since Cape Verde has no mineral deposits and very little arable farmland, but it does get a lot of wind and sun. The government wants to capitalize on these natural resources. It hopes that the country will eventually no longer have to be dependent on imports for power. To this end, it has set up Project Cabeolicato deliver wind power across all populated islands. Currently, 30 wind turbines located on four islands supply about 25% of the electricity needed. This figure can peak at 35% of demand supplied. The aim is to stop using fossil fuels altogether, which will cut carbon emissions, as well as create jobs. 20% of Cape Verde nationals live in poverty, so the drive towards total renewable energy will help the national economy too.
3. Santiago Is Home to a 500-Year-Old Church
Cape Verde has the oldest colonial church in the tropics which is situated in CidadeVelha on Santiago Island. The 500-year

It's a beautiful day in CAPE VERDE, my 189th country!! That means that I have just 8 countries left until I've visited them all!
Join me today as I take you on a journey around the touristy, yet stunning island called Sal, to see how many things I can get for $10 USD (1,000 Cape Verdean Escudos).
If I could quickly ask for your feedback -- do you enjoy these $10 series? They take about twice as long to make as my other videos, and I am not sure if I should continue them or not. If you could please comment with a simple "yes" or "no" and why, I would be very grateful as I value your feedback and I'm constantly looking to improve.

Cape Verde has few natural resources, little arable land and is prone to drought - just some of the reasons why many residents are desperate to move to greener pastures.
Cape Verde/ˌkeɪpˈvɜːrd/ or Cabo Verde/kɑːboʊˈvɜːrdeɪ/, /kæ-/ (Portuguese:Cabo Verde, pronounced:[ˈkabu ˈveɾdɨ]), officially the Republic of Cabo Verde, is an island country spanning an archipelago of 10 volcanic islands in the central Atlantic Ocean. Located 570 kilometres (350mi) off the coast of Western Africa, the islands cover a combined area of slightly over 4,000 square kilometres (1,500sqmi).
The Cape Verde archipelago was uninhabited until the 15th century, when Portuguese explorers discovered and colonized the islands, establishing the first European settlement in the tropics. Ideally located for the Atlantic slave trade, the islands grew prosperous throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, attracting merchants, privateers, and pirates.

Incorporated as an overseas department of Portugal in 1951, the islands continued to agitate for independence, which was peacefully achieved in 1975.
The ancient volcanic archipelago of Cape Verde is a baby in tourism terms ... Even then, not much happened until the 1980s, when Cesaria Evora, resident darling of the newly independent nation, sang, “Oh Cape Verde, my beloved land ... Cape Verde ... CAPE VERDE.
