The Cape Verde archipelago is located in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 570 kilometres (350 mi) off the coast of West Africa, near Mauritania and Senegal, and is part of the Macaronesia ecoregion. It is a horseshoe-shaped cluster of ten islands (nine inhabited) and eight islets[10], that constitute an area of 4033 km².[10]
The islands are spatially divided into two groups:
* The Ilhas de Barlavento (English: windward islands): Santo Antão, São Vicente, Santa Luzia, São Nicolau, Sal, Boa Vista[10]; and
* The Ilhas de Sotavento (English: leeward islands): Maio, Santiago, Fogo, Brava.[10]
The largest island, both in size and population, is Santiago, which hosts the nation's capital, Praia, the principal agglomeration in the archipelago
