Grenada - The Island Of Spice

Grenada, a beautiful island off the northern coast of Venezuela, offers miles of gorgeous white sandy beaches caressed by tranquil blue waters.  A tropical paradise with an alluring array of colorful flowers and a delicious assortment of tropical fruits, Grenada has been dubbed "The Spice Island."

Growing spices is part of Grenada's claim to fame.  In fact, Grenada grows more spices per square mile than many other countries.  Such aromatic varieties as clove, allspice, and ginger, along with cookie favorites, cinnamon and nutmeg, add to the fragrant charm of this delightful island.

Elegant with remnants of an island plantation lifestyle, Grenada provides a serene atmosphere like no other.  The flavor of the island leans to a quiet beauty, complete with tropical rainforest.  Lakes and cascading waterfalls fascinate and beguile those who take the time to stop awhile. 

St. George, capital of Grenada in colonial days, rests on a hilltop above a horseshoe shaped harbor that provides safe boating all year.  Interspersed throughout the year, a bevy of water activities and events entertain onlookers.  From sport fishing to scuba diving to sailing, the blue waters surrounding Grenada offer something for every type of appetite.

Summer carnivals, cricket classics, and public holidays, festivals, and celebrations stir up lively activity throughout the year.  Creole cuisine tempts the taste buds.  Beautiful botanical gardens, carefully manicured golf courses, museums, and more offer exciting points of interest for the traveler.
