I thought it would be interesting for everyone if I provided a piece of information about some of these Caribbean islands that you may not already know about, so feel free to read on and learn something new.

Antigua is an island but this is also a word, do you what this means? Antigua is a Spanish word and means Ancient, it received its name thanks to Columbus, who named it after a church in Santa Maria!

Do you know what the National Flower of Barbados is? This flower was thought to only grow on Barbados, and it is called the “Pride of Barbados” it is a form of Hibiscus flower.

St Lucia wasn’t always the luxury holiday location it is today, it was an island of war. This was an island of war with the French and the British fighting over it for many occasions earning its name “Helen”.

How many people do you think live on Jamaica, just a rough guess, and I bet that you get it completely wrong. There are many more people living here than you think i bet? I doubt that you were very close, the number you are trying to find is somewhere in the region of 3 million!

Cuba isn’t exactly how the western countries have depicted it. This is interesting to note especially when you consider the strong regime that is being enforced in Cuba, to find out that it is the most culturally diverse countries in the Caribbean!

Tourists have been intoxicated by the beauty of this island, and it has become a very popular holiday destination. One thing you probably don’t know is that Grenada has an attribute much like that of Zanzibar, it is a Spice Isle. It is a leading producer of many different spices, like; Cinnamon, cloves, ginger and Nutmeg.

Next up and last of all is Bermuda, now i don’t want to bore you with the usual stuff that people talk about when you mention Bermuda. Bermuda is considered by many to be one island, when it actually consists of more than a hundred small islands.

So what do you think, inspired to try Caribbean holidays, with new knowledge you could try St Lucia holidays or Cuba holidays!
