Punta Occura

Punta Occura lies on the mountainous island of Fernando Pó, home to the Bubi people before Portuguese ships reached the Gulf of Guinea. Unlike nearby São Tomé and Príncipe, the island already had an established population. Portuguese contact remained intermittent, and the Bubi retained control over their communities. In 1778 Portugal ceded its claims to Fernando Pó and Annobón to Spain, opening another chapter in foreign ambitions around the island's shores.
