Cape Verde - Statistical Appendix (Electronic book text)


26. Cape Verde is located off the west coast of Africa, approximately 500 km due west of Senegal. It is comprised of 10 islands, 9 of which are inhabited, and has a total land area of 4,033 sq km and a coastline of approximately 965 km. Its population of approximately 500,000 reflects, in part, heavy emigration which has resulted in more nationals living outside Cape Verde than in the country. The vast majority of Cape Verde's population is found on the islands of Santiago, the island on which the capital city, Praia, is located and Sao Vincente. Some of the largest emigrant groups are located in Boston (USA), Portugal and the Netherlands. In recent years there has been growing economic activity in the island of Sal, primarily in the real estate and tourism sectors. Cape Verde has a strategic location being very close to major North-South sea routes and serves as an important communications station as well as an important sea and air refueling site.
