Cadogan Guide to the Caribbean and the Bahamas
by James Henderson

From the Cadogan Guides series.

The Caribbean is the ultimate rest cure. Its sugar-white sands, clear waters and balmy climate have long worked their magic on sun-starved tourists, though its languid charms run much deeper than sun, sand and sea. Beyond the lively towns and resorts, the pace of life remains deliciously slow Ð West Indians, after all, are the acknowledged masters of taking it easy. The region can also be a feisty, spirited place Ð anticipate street talk and impromptu music Ð for this is the land of reggae, rum stalls and the swinging rhythms of calypso. Expect surprising relics from the past, too. It's all here: in the 1950s classic cars that still purr their way through the streets of Castro's Cuba; in the old French forts of Grenada; in the colonial sugar mills of Antigua; and in the Anglican parish churches of Barbados. And everywhere, there are echoes of Africa. Summon the energy, and the Caribbean offers plenty more than holiday hedonism.
