Barbados

Among many enjoyable and wonderful islands in the West Idies, Barbados is the best.

Barbados's many tourist attractions, location, people, and interesting facts are what makes it a wonderful island.

Barbados is located in 14N and 59W.This Island was once a British Colony that held slaves who harvested sugar cane. This island is also in the northwestern hemisphere. It is surrounded by the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean. It is about 166 square miles or 430 square km. Also, because of its relative location and size it has many beaches and places for water type activities.

Another great thing is Barbados's rich culture. The total population is 259,000. Also, these people's ancestors were African and British origin. They were slaves that worked and colonized it after slavery was abolished. The main language is English, so if you plan on going there you're all set. And since the temperature is hot they wear light European clothing.

Next to the great culture, Barbados also has many great places to visit. At the island's capital city of Bridgetown there are many shops, hotels, and churches. The same goes for Speight town Also you can enjoy luxurious scenery at Mullins Beach and enjoy the beautiful bay at Sandy Lane.

Next are the islands food, economy, and education. One other thing is that nearly all the adults on Barbados can read. This comes from the law that every child between the ages of 5-16 must attend school. So when they grow up many adults can read and write. The harvesting of sugar cane is a very important industry, but tourist attractions are achieving it in importance. Tourists should also prepare for some dishes like the flying fish burger or okra pudding or even roasted suckling pigs. The sugar cane also creates sweet and spicy rum that one person in the 17 century called “Devilish.”

In conclusion, the diverse culture, location, and tourist attractions are what make this country a great vacation spot for weary workers or for people who just want to have fun and a good time.
