Porto Grande
Off the northwest coast of Africa lay the Cape Verde Islands, originally discovered by the Portuguese in 1460. In its early days, the islands' populations were scattered and barely subsistent, surviving off of the natural salt beds of the islands and the sea turtle population. Today, the Cape Verde Islands are becoming a popular travel destination as it has superb beaches, excellent scenery, and exuberant local color.
Currency
The currency used in Cape Verde is Cape Verde escudo (CVE).
