Overview

Grenada

Grenada consists of three islands - Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique, of which Grenada is by far the largest, but even so is just 18km (12 miles) wide and 34km (21 miles) long. The landscape is mountainous and volcanic, giving Grenada one of the loveliest environments in the Caribbean, with crater lakes, rainforests and coastal mangrove plantations that give way to white sand beaches, brilliant blue water and pristine coral reefs.

Grenada food
Grenada is known as the 'Spice Island' - and with good reason. Nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, ginger and vanilla. You name it. It's found here.

When it comes to food, Grenadian's like it hot and spicy. Pepper pot is a favourite - meat cooked with lots of pepper, garlic and onions - as is Roti (beef, chicken or vegetables cooked with curry and potatoes). Crab and callaloo (like spinach) and smokey lambi (conch) souse are likely to be on the menu if you eat out.

Calypso music
Music is an important part of life on Grenada. Calypso is the music of the native Grenadian, drawn from Grenada's African origins, but modern reggae and pop are everywhere as well.
