"The Isle of Spice" or "The Spice Island of the West" is the largest of the three islands (Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique) comprising the Independent state of Grenada. From the world-famous Grand Anse beach up to the 2749 -foot high Mt. St. Catherine peak there is a varying topography of mountains, valleys and streams gloriously arrayed to present some of the most picturesque scenery in the world.

The capital city of Grenada is St. George's, which is situated on a sheltered bay in the south-western part of the mainland. Together with its suburbs, it comprises one-third of the population. The charm and beauty of the subtle blend of old Georgian and modern architecture is unsurpassed in the Caribbean.
