 CHARLES BRAY's Cape Verd Journal
Cape Verde is one of the world’s smallest nations, and one with a not too promising future due to a lack of resources.
Lying some 645 km [400 miles] off the West Africa coast, its ten principal islands are grouped into the Barlaventos [or Wind wards] Islands, consisting of Santo Antao, Sao Vincente, Santa Luzio, Sao Nicolau, Boa Vista and Sal, and the Sotaventos Islands [also called Lee wards Islands] consisting of Brava, Fogo, Sao Tiago, and Maio.
The capital, Praia, is situated on Sao Tiago, the island with the largest population in the group [about 200.00].

The Republic of Cape Verde, as it has been known since it won its independence in 1975 around the time Portugal lost all of its African colonies, is a beautiful, rugged 15-island chain located 400 miles off the coast of Senegal in Africa.
The ten major islands and five tiny islands form two distinct groups: the northern group known as the Barlavento or windward islands, because they are exposed directly to the northeast trade winds, and the southern group known as the Sotoven to, or leeward islands because they are protected from the winds.
The Barlaventos include Santo Antão; São Vincente, where the largest city of Mindelo is located; São Nicolau; Sal, where the international airport is located; and Boa Vista.
