São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Anejo is a historic city in the south of the West African country of Togo, located about 37 kilometers north of the capital Lomé, bordering the Gulf of Guinea, and is one of the most important coastal towns in Togo. Once the administrative center of the German colonial period, the city still retains its 19th century colonial old town, with its quaint churches, traditional architecture and tropical atmosphere, attracting both history buffs and tourists. Anejo is known for its multiculturalism, with a predominantly Ewe population and a blend of Yoruba and other ethnic traditions, resulting in unique folklore and festivals. A fishing town with a vibrant market for seafood along the coast, Anejo is also an important node for trade between Togo's interior and the coast. Despite its small size, Anejo is one of Togo's must-see cultural destinations for its tranquil atmosphere, deep history and stunning coastal views.
