CAPE VERDE
The Republic of Cape Verde is an independent state on an archipelago off the west coast of Africa. It has a subtropical climate but frequent droughts mean that agriculture is unreliable and its economy relies mainly on the service industries. Its wildlife has several unique native species of birds and the Cape Verde Giant Gecko; Darwin visited it on his Beagle voyage.

Journalist and photographer, Frances Linzee Gordon, first went to Cape Verde 6 years ago and spent a few weeks visiting all the inhabited islands; Lecturer and writer, Toby Green did his PhD about Cape Verde and in his latest book talks about those who fleeing the Inquisition went to Cape Verde.
