Grenada
Grenada is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled of the Caribbean islands. Bordered by stunning beaches, and populated by friendly people, the interior of this volcanic island has cascading rivers and waterfalls, lush rain forests, and one of the most breathtakingly beautiful mountain lakes imaginable. The capital, St. George's, is widely held to be the most picturesque city in the Caribbean. Its horseshoe shaped harbour is surrounded by a pastel rainbow of dockside warehouses and the red tiled roofs of traditional shops and homes.
Average temperatures range from 24C/ 75F to 30C/ 87F, tempered by the steady and cooling trade winds. The lowest temperatures occur between November and February. Because of Grenada's remarkable topography, the island also experiences climate changes according to altitude. The driest season is between January and May. Even during the rainy season, from June to December, it rarely rains for more than an hour at a time and generally not every day.
