Ibo (Isla)

"Isla de Ibo (en portugués: Ilha do Ibo) es una pequeña isla de coral situada en la costa de la provincia de Cabo Delgado en el norte del país africano de Mozambique. La isla tiene 10 km de largo por cinco de ancho y está urbanizado casi en su totalidad, encontrándose allí la villa de Ibo (vila do Ibo), capital del distrito del mismo nombre. Forma parte del Parque nacional de las Quirimbas (Parque nacional das Quirimbas)."

"Ibo is one of the Quirimbas Islands in the Indian Ocean off northern Mozambique. It is part of Cabo Delgado Province. It grew as a Muslim trading port. Vasco da Gama reportedly rested on the island in 1502. The island was fortified in 1609 by the Portuguese. In the late eighteenth century, Portuguese colonialists built the Fort of São João, which still survives, and the town, as a slave port, became the second most important in the region after Mozambique Island. The island is now a far quieter place, known for its silversmiths. Ibo forms part of the Quirimbas National Park and is linked by dhows to the mainland at Tandanhangue."
