Overview |
Charming simplicity of the fragrant Spice Island. Stunningly beautiful, friendly Grenada is a scenic delight of waterfalls and streams tumbling down lush forested slopes, exotic birds, brilliant blooms and all enveloped by the almost imperceptible scent of spices - nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and vanilla. Home to the Concord Falls, the spectacular Grand Etang National Park offers jungle walking trails and Grenada's colourful reefs provide rich grounds for snorkelling and diving. Trade winds rustle the palms of the idyllic Grand Anse Beach, one of the finest stretches of sand in the Caribbean. Take a water taxi just across the bay to the capital of St George's, one of the most picturesque towns in the Caribbean where pastel-shaded colonial buildings cluster around the horseshoe-shaped harbour alive with colourful market stalls brimming with pungent spices and local straw goods. Relaxed intimate hotels hide away on gleaming white crescents of sand, catering to all comfort loving escapists. Grenada's spice plantations give an edge to the excellent Creole cuisine with delicious dining on succulent seafood and freshly grown produce to be found on most menus and always served with a slice of entrancing Grenadian bonhomie. |
