Best At Honeymoons

Grenada’s soils nurture great amounts of cinnamon, turmeric, cocoa, ginger, mace and nutmeg. With its olde-worlde capital St George’s sitting on a horseshoe-shaped bay enclosing an especially picturesque harbour, this island (in addition to its six satellite islands) during its history passed through the Spanish, then the French, before being ceded to the British in 1763. Having suffered a US invasion and its aftermath in the 1980’s, and then, in 2004, a strike by Hurricane Ivan, Grenada has emerged, recovered and revived to become the peaceful sun-washed place it is today. Holidays to Grenada are now on many people’s wishlists. Grenada Island itself has a mountainous landscape, presided over by Mount St. Catherine, 2,756 feet high. Rivers with sweeping waterfalls adorn the inland area. Grenada’s sibling islands are Carriacou, Ronde Island, Caille Island, Petit Martinique, Frigate Island Diamond Island, Large Island and Saline Island. Its volcanic origins give the area its fertile soil.
