This is a holiday for the discerning traveller in the Caribbean, known
fondly
as the Isle of Spice, being situated 12º north of the Equator and
therefore well within the tropics. It is a truly special place to visit
- the warmth and the charm of the islanders will capture your heart and
your imagination. You will come home feeling relaxed and
refreshed.
Grenada is undoubtedly the prettiest of the Caribbean islands, with
many varieties of flowering shrubs and trees. Its capital, St George’s
has long enjoyed the reputation of being the prettiest harbour in the
Caribbean, alluring by day and sparkling by night, it has retained a
certain charm and character now lost by many of its counterparts. Visit
any of the hilltop restaurants or bars and you will see for yourself
how the city sparkles like a thousand diamonds at night. For the
explorer there are many attractions, including rum distilleries, sugar
mills, plantations, areas of archaeological interest, towns and
villages, mountains and beaches. There are also waterfalls, a tropical
rain forest and a nature reserve, not to mention some of the finest
unspoilt beaches in the Caribbean, most of which are usually fringed
with sea grape and coconut trees to shield you from the tropical sun.
