Cape Verde
Cape Verde climate
Cape Verde climate is milder than that of the African mainland, because the surrounding sea moderates temperatures on the islands and cold Atlantic currents produces an arid atmosphere around the archipelago.
Cape Verdean cuisine
Cape Verdean cuisine owes much to European influences and to the life in the sea around the archipelago. Perhaps the most ubiquitous dish is catchupa, a dish of ground maize, beans and sometimes meat or chicken.
Festivals and Events in Cape Verde
Combining Catholic influences with a vibrant Creole culture are some extremely colourful Carnival celebrations on Cape Verde.
