The Republic of Guinea, on the west coast of Africa is bordered to the north by Senegal and Mali and on the east by Mali and the Ivory Coast, on the south by Liberia and Sierra Leone, on the west by the Atlantic Ocean and on the northwest by Guinea-Bissau.
Guinea owes its frontiers mainly to the accidents of the late 19th century partition of Africa and has no geographic unity. Much of the country is mountainous and the scenery is of great beauty with good vegetation. The climate is tropical. Rainfall is heavy through out the year. There are few restaurants in Equatorial Guinea and those that exist are mainly restricted to Malabo and Bata and do not necessarily open every day. Most restaurants serve Spanish or continental cuisine. Beer is usually expensive. Fresh produce is found on the local market.
The travel and tourism industry is hampered by the infrastructure of the country. Not many developments have been done on the hotels. A combination of damaged roads and lack of air services hinders the transportation in the country. There is plenty opportunity for walking and cycling. The country is becoming more famous for business tourists due to its copper and gold mines.
