Grenada travel

An island state in the Caribbean, Grenada owes its fragrant nickname – the island of spices – to its production of cinnamon, nutmeg, turmeric and cloves. Made up primarily of four islands from the Grenadines archipelago, Grenada has been independent since 1974. White sand and turquoise waters colour its beaches, while lush, often hilly greenery makes up the backcountry. It was under the impetus of Richelieu, during the period of French rule (1649–1763), that St George’s, its capital, was founded.
