CAPITAL ST GEORGE'S - POPULATION 89,971 - AREA 344 SQ KM - OFFICIAL LANGUAGE ENGLISH
Just like buses, there are no hurricanes for ages and then two come along at once. This is how it was with the storms in 2004 and 2005 that battered beautiful little Grenada. Now, though, the Spice Isle famed for its cloves, cocoa and nutmeg has bounced back. St George's is once again the most picturesque Caribbean capital and the place is gearing itself up for ecotourism by promoting its many national parks and natural wonders. And, of course, its stunning beaches. Catch a cricket game at the capital's new and impressive 17,000-seater stadium or head to town for the annual Carriacou Regatta, an impressive sailing race and swinging accompanying festival, in July and August.
