Sava Region

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sava Region is located in Antsiranana Province, northeast Madagascar. The name is composed of its four principal towns: Sambava, Antalaha, Vohémar, and Andapa. Each of these towns clains the honorific title "World capital of vanilla," a spice of which (under the name vanilla Bourbon) the region is the largest producer in the world. Its economic importance encouraged the construction of a new road to the capital Antananarivo, called the "Route de la vanille" ("Vanilla route") in the second half of 2005.
