The Barlavento Islands (literally, the Windward) is the northern island group of the Cape Verde archipelago.[1] It can be divided into two sub-groups:

  • the western islands Santo Antão, São Vicente, São Nicolau, Santa Luzia and the islets Branco and Raso are rocky, volcanic, agricultural islands.
  • the eastern islands Sal and Boa Vista are flat, desert islands with economies once based on salt and now turning to tourism, having more in common with the Sotavento island Maio.

Minor islets include Ilhéu de Sal-Rei and Ilhéu do Baluarte off Boa Vista, Ilhéu dos Pássaros off São Vicente and Ilhéu Rabo de Junco off Sal. The total area of the Barlavento Islands is {{convert|2239|km2|abbr=on}}.[1]
