Cape Verde.

Beautiful country, with wonderful people.

The landscape reminds me of Canarias, people remind me of some Hispanic Caribbean people or pardo Brazilians.

Cape Verde and the Canaries are very close geographically, I wonder how the Guanches never arrived in Cape Verde, since the archipelagos were uninhabited before the arrival of the Portuguese.

Yes, for sure if someone showed me these images and said it was someone from the Spanish Caribbean I would believe it.

Macaronesia, indeed.


However close ( 700km south of Canarias) they might be geographically though, Islas Canarias and Cabo Verde are worlds apart in any other sense....the atmosphere, culture, pretty much anything other than a similar climate. Although, I'm sure this is obvious

Well, the Guanches lacked metals and had no tradition of navigation, and Canarias have veryyyy strong currents and trade winds so smaller vessels would have been death traps. Guanches never expanded west or north into the rest of the islands in that region (Cape Verde, the Azores, Madeira, etc) because of this.
