Quaint City of Bata in Equatorial Guinea.....never seen on SSC before

Nice, I would love to go there and talk to them in Spanish

Beautiful!

Neat!

Its kind of weird that there is a country in africa where people can understand me

^^..I though the same too....but I think it could be very cool at the same time......

I heard Equatorial Guinea still has strong relationships with Spain (as the latinamerican countries)...and as for the pictures.........the city has some similarities with some Mexican small cities in the coast of the Gulf of Mexico , maybe is the mix between the signs in spanish, the spaniard colonial architechture and the new developments)..:lol:...anyway..its nice to see pics from Eq Guinea. :cheers:

How comes Equiatorial Guinea has all of those projects?...Is thanx for the Oil industry??........

WOW!!! I had no idea Bata looked like this. Far removed from some of the images I've seen of Malabo. I had no idea it was so lush, clean, and modern.

Bata is very beautiful

cheers from Morocco

Thank you for sharing! It's great seeing a new city featured in SSC!

would like visit especially since is a spanish speaking country.

Bata town looks realy very nice aned beautiful, awesome place thanks for those photos kay:

Looks great! I wonder how their Spanish accent sounds like?

I would like to see more photos from this place

Looks good, judging from the pictures, it's the first time I heard about the city. Is the whole city so modern and wealthy? Or does it have tons of slums like most other African cities?

As far as I know the Equatorial Guinea has the highest GDP per capita in Africa and it is still growing thanks to huge oil deposits in the offshore area of the country. It may sound unbelievable, but it is close to 50 000 dollars per person. More than in many European countries,synonim for wealth!

No wonder that its cities are being reconstructed and modernized.
