Elobey Chico, or Little Elobey, is a small island off the coast of Equatorial Guinea, lying 6.5 km from the mouth of the Mitémélé River. The island is now uninhabited but was once the de facto colony capital of the Spanish territory of Río Muni. Officially, the island was associated with Bioko, but the connection seemed to be little more than fiction. The majority of the factories were owned by Hamburg Merchants.Elisee Reclus, Africa, Vol.3, p.402
The island is on the 1st degree north latitude circle.
