One of the most magnificent islands in the West Indies, Grenada is also known as the ‘Isle of Spice’. Grenada is famous for its wildly jagged mountain peaks, hidden coves, spice plantations, and lush verdant rainforests. The beaches are idyllic, with white or golden sand, palm trees, and the delicate aroma of the island’s native spices.
