About Grenada... |
Area Code (473) |
Lush, green volcanic mountains and some magnificent beaches are two of Grenada's claims to fame: the island's central mountainous spine rises to 2,756 feet in Mt. St. Catherine, and one look at Grand Anse beach, one of the finest in the Caribbean, will be enough to tumble you straight into the clear blue water.
Grenada is also the one Caribbean island that produces spices, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, mace, as well as cocoa and bananas.
Until 1650, Grenada was left more or less alone, but in that year a French expedition from Martinique bought extensive land on the island from the indigenous Carib inhabitants.
Grenada's capital, St. George's, is a beautiful town, built on green hills and surrounding the magnificent harbour-several of the attractive restaurants and shops are on the Carenage, the open harbour front. The narrow streets of St. George's are lined with buildings dating back to French and British times.
