Dear Travelers,
HMS Beagle dropped anchor here in 1832, providing young naturalist Charles Darwin the opportunity to taste his first banana. Apparently uninhabited prior to the arrival of European navigators in the mid-1400s, the ten islands of the Cape Verde Archipelago were eventually colonized by the Portuguese; independence was finally realized in 1975. Vestiges of the colonial days here in the capital are clustered around Praça Alexandre Albuquerque in Old Town.
See you there...
Rinell :-)
