Cape Verde

Cape Verde, also known as Cabo Verde, is a group of 10 remote islands located off the western coast of Africa. These islands have one of the most unique cultures, history, and geography in the world. They even have their own musical genre, Morna, that can make even a tone-deaf person want to break out into song.

The geography of Cape Verde is as confusing as the name of this group of islands. Despite the name, there are no capes, and it is not a part of Cape Town. So don’t be surprised if you don’t find any penguins or seals lurking around the beach.

The island’s location and small size have helped create a culture that is both diverse and vibrant. The people are warm and friendly, always ready to share their history and traditions with visitors. However, if you’re hoping for a wild night out, you might have to settle for a game of Scrabble with your hotel receptionist.

Tourism to Cape Verde is surprisingly popular, considering that the islands are home to more goats than people. But who doesn’t love the sight of a gracefully leaping goat on their morning stroll along the beach?

Unfortunately, with its remote location, Cape Verde has been left out of most international conversations, and many people still confuse it with the classic animated television series, “Cape Crusader”. Which is a shame, because the country has so much to offer, from unique landscapes to delectable cuisine.

In short, Cape Verde is a mash-up of beautiful beaches, odd geography, local music, and friendly people. It’s a perfect set of islands for those seeking solitude, adventure, or just a good goat joke. So if you’re looking for an off-the-beaten-path destination and appreciate tongue-in-cheek humor, this could be your dream vacation.
