The Caribbean

There is no way one can spend a better beach holiday than on the Caribbean. Over 35 islands make up this archipelago. The islands facing the rough Atlantic are perfect for those tourists who look for the highest waves whereas the little paradises in the heart of the Caribbean Sea meet the conditions for snorkeling excellently. Many newly wed couples spend their honeymoon on Barbados, the place for a romantic getaway. Food and eating is celebrated as a cultural highlight of the island. Barbados is famous for its seafood restaurants and authentic Caribbean treats. The virgin nature of Isla Margarita which belongs to Venezuela is widely known among fans of the Caribbean. Visitors are enchanted by the breathtaking sunsets which you can observe best from the Fortin de la Galera. Over the centuries many cultures have shaped the face of Jamaica. Reggae music is a vital expression of this cultural richness. Cuba has also enriched the worldwide music. There is no better place than Havana for a passionate night in the clubs. The most densly populated island of the Caribbean is Puerto Rico. Since the borders between the island and the United States are open many Puerto Ricans emigrate. The Bahamas constitute the absolute contrast to Puerto Rico with respect to population. Another island of the Caribbean, Martinique, is rather mountainous and of volcanic origin. Haiti belongs to the archipelago of the Dominican Republic. Here you can find more holiday information.
