Europeans are used to travel to the Canary islands during winters while North Americans go to Caribbeans but not a lot of people are aware of the African gem, Cape Verde (or Cabo Verde as some others prefer).

This Island country is made up of 10 islands that are sitting in a horseshoe shape.

These Islands are completely different from each other. 4 of them are desert-like while in the other ones you’ll find mountains and greener areas but the country’s most famous for its beaches and attractive people which we’ll discuss below in the People’s section.

Recent History of Cape Verde (Cabo Verde)

Cape Verde was inhabitant until 1456 when discovered by Portugal. The population was made out of European people living there and the African slaves who worked there, they formed a society and became independent in 1975.

Their relationship is pretty friendly with Portugal and many of them still carry Portuguese passport.
