Map Card Of Cabo Verde

The archipelago of Cabo Verde is situated in the central Atlantic, 570km off the coast of Western Africa. The islands are of volcanic origin, and because of general lack of rain they are not as green as the name would suggest ;) The name rather comes from the Cap Vert on the Senegalese coast.

Cabo Verde always sounded so exotic to me - that is why I was thrilled to see the offer from Michaela/misagan for a swap, weehee :) Thank you Michaela for a great card and the stamp is wonderfully large and cancelled..! <3
