Known as the Spice Island, Grenada is indisputably everyone’s idea of
tropical splendor.
The 120 square mile (310 sq km) island is a microcosm of all that’s best in
the Caribbean. There are silky white beaches, unspoiled rain forests, hills
and waterfalls, a breathtakingly beautiful colonial capital town, warm,
clear bays for swimming and diving, a passion for food that’s a lasting
legacy of the early French settlers, peace and quiet for lovers of solitude
and a lively nightlife if you want it – all wrapped up in a perfect climate.
It’s no wonder that the British and the French fought over it so many times.
