Annobón Province, Province in Atlantic Ocean, Equatorial Guinea.

Annobón Province encompasses a volcanic island territory covering 17 square kilometers, located 565 kilometers from continental Equatorial Guinea in the South Atlantic Ocean.

Portuguese sailors discovered the uninhabited island on January 1, 1473, naming it Annobón, and later brought settlers and workers from Angola to establish communities.

The residents of Annobón Province communicate in Spanish and a Portuguese-based creole language, maintaining traditions through local festivals and community gatherings.

Transportation to Annobón Province requires either air travel from mainland Equatorial Guinea or maritime services, with limited frequency due to weather conditions.

The waters surrounding Annobón Province contain diverse marine species, supporting local fishing industries and providing sustenance for the island's 5,314 inhabitants.
