Equatorial Guinea

Discover essential information about Equatorial Guinea

Equatorial Guinea is the only Spanish-speaking country in Africa and one of the continent's smallest nations. It consists of a mainland territory (Río Muni) sandwiched between Cameroon and Gabon, plus Bioko Island in the Gulf of Guinea where the capital Malabo is located. An oil boom in the 1990s transformed it into one of sub-Saharan Africa's highest per-capita income countries.
