Corisco Island and the Elobey Islands

Elobey Chico , or Little Elobey , is a small island off the coast of Equatorial Guinea , lying near the mouth of the Mitemele River . The island is now uninhabited but was once the de facto colonial capital of the Spanish territory of Rio Muni . Officially, the island was associated with Fernando Po , but the connection seemed to be little more than fiction. The majority of the factories were owned by Hamburg Merchants . [1]
