⛵ Cap-Vert

Cap-Vert also known as the Cape Verde Peninsula to distinguish it from the nearby archipelagic country of Cape Verde, is a peninsula in Senegal and the westernmost point of the continent of Africa and of the Afro-Eurasia mainland. Portuguese explorers called it Cabo Verde or "Green Cape". The country of Cape Verde, located 570 kilometres (350 mi) farther west, is named in reference to the cape. Dakar, the capital of Senegal, occupies parts including its southern tip. The peninsula marks the border between Grande Côte to the north and Petite Côte to the south. It is delimited by two capes, Pointe des Almadies to the northwest and cap Manuel to the southeast.
