P1100772 Cabo Verde

The Republic of Cape Verde (Portuguese: Cabo Verde)

is an island country, of 10 islands located in the central Atlantic Ocean, 570 kilometres off the coast of Western Africa.

Around 95% of the population is Christian.

The economy of Cape Verde is service-oriented, with commerce, transport, and public services accounting for more than 70% of GDP. Although nearly 38% of the population lives in rural areas, agriculture and fishing contribute only about 9% of GDP. Light manufacturing accounts for most of the remainder. Fish and shellfish are plentiful, and small quantities are exported.
