Living in Cape Verde
Spanning 10 volcanic islands and 8 islets, Cape Verde is an island group in the central Atlantic Ocean, 570 kilometres West of the Cape Verde peninsula situated in West Africa. The islands were discovered and colonised by the Portuguese in the 15th century and as such its official language is Portuguese and much of the 539 560 inhabitants are descendants of either European settlers or the African slaves who were brought to work on the plantations. Eventually Cape Verde became independent from Portugal in 1975, a peaceful transition and it has since maintained a stable representative democracy. As an economy, there is little scope for exporting natural resources and 90% of food is imported, but it has been classified as a developing country and developed a service-oriented economy. Investment is welcomed and many are attracted to immigrate there, due to its high living standards for the area. There has also been investment in renewable energy, for which it is one of the top countries and four islands have wind energy supplying 30% of electricity. The Cape Verdean culture is said to be a new culture stemming from the 15th century, mixing African and European elements; church activities are very important to the people, with the main religion being Roman Catholicism, a reflection of the Portuguese origins of Cape Verde.
