The Hidden Gem of West Africa

There's an African country near Senegal that is archipelago of ten Volcanic islands, beautiful beaches, beautiful ocean views, has a population of less than 700,000 people, It's a hidden gem that offers travelers a cultural blend of Africa, Portuguese and Brazil, has a stable political atmosphere, with high standards of living compared to other African countries in West Africa. Although it has limited natural mineral resources its economy depends mostly on tourism, services, fisheries and remittances which isn't bad at all as there is always an influx of tourist from Europe visiting the country and yeah their currency is pegged to the euro. The people I hear are really hospitable and welcoming as they have a small population, I also saw in a documentary that their streets have no names but are differentiated by the colour of the buildings.

The climate suits me because it's kind of climate I prefer to what is currently being experienced in my country Nigeria. The country has a tropical dry climate, with a rainy season roughly from August to October, it's windy as cool winds emanate from the oceans surrounding it, it's also influenced by the harmattan winds from the Sahara making it generally warm and dry, it's known for its year-round sunshine and stunning landscapes a perfect location for adventure seekers, relaxation and cultural discovery.
The Island boasts of a variety of breathtaking scenery, from the golden beaches of Sal and Boa Vista to the dramatic Volcanic peaks of Fogo which is among the sights I would love to see and experience.

There's so much to talk about when it comes to this little hidden island country like the water, the turquoise waters that lush valleys in a place called Santo Antão, the city and towns in the different areas of the country are very colourful, there's something for every type of traveler.
Their soulful sounds of Morna made by the famous Ćesária Évora fills the streets and create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The food oh my God the food I hear is another highlight, with fresh seafood and when I say fresh I mean it you are eating today's catch, its tropical fruits offering a taste of the island's rich heritage and a traditional stew called cachupa is something I'd certainly give a try.

More so if I had that much money I would relocate and go and live in such a beautiful country that people barely believe existed not everyone in Africa or should I say in Nigeria knows about the amazing West African country called; "Cape Verde" that's part of my dream destination.
I would really want to go to a place where no one knows me, have a new beginning, be in location that is like paradise having amazing and beautiful natural sights and architecture, meet new people make new friends, be at peace and enjoy new experiences for as long as I want and leave Nigeria that is so toxic and over populated with a bad political structure and a terrible failing economy. There are many other countries that I could go to outside of Africa that would offer me what I desire but I love Africa and would like to remain here and no other country in Africa ticks all the boxes but Cape Verde.
Thank for reading through.

I barely hear the name of that west African country, but from what you said, it is can be seen that it’s such an amazing place to reside. Who knows that money might get to you, and you will go to Cape Verde.
