The capital of Cape Verde, an island nation in the Atlantic Ocean, 500 km west of Senegal, West Africa. It is located on the southeast coast of the country's largest island, São Tiago. It has a population of 94,757 (2000). The city receives little rain, with an average annual rainfall of 270 mm, due to the influence of the Canary Current and winds from the Sahara Desert. During the age of sailing ships, it flourished as an intercontinental transit port, but today it is an export port for coffee, sugar, and bananas, and a fishing port. Tourism development is planned.
