There's a fain aroma of cloves, cinnamon and cacao in the air as you arrive on the beautiful island of Grenada, also known as "The Spice Island". The island's capital
St. George's is definitely worth a visit, if only for its picture-perfect inner harbor area. Once you're done sightseeing (the island's interior is very lush and
home to many waterfalls), be sure to visit Grand Anse Beach. This is what a Caribbean beach is all about: clear blue waters, an easygoing atmosphere and a good mix
of tourists and locals. |
