Barbados - a 'Little England' it may be, with local cricket matches, British place names and even a beautiful hilly area known as Scotland, but Barbados is also alive with local flavour, reggae rhythms, excellent nightlife and some beautiful beach hotels. Beyond its coral sand beaches and turquoise sea, there are colonial plantation houses, landscaped gardens and hidden caves to explore on this tropical holiday.

Sports
Barbados has plenty of action away from the beach, with hiking, golf, cycling and horseriding. Scuba diving and snorkelling are superb here, with colourful coral reefs and mysterious shipwrecks, while windsurfers flock to the Soup Bowl's bay at Bathsheba on the east coast.

Local tastes
Bajan food is delicious with seafood highly recommended. The national dish is flying fish served with cou-cou, made from cornmeal and okra. Try Roti, a folded pastry filled with spicy meat and potato, and hit your thirst with the locally produced Banks beer.
Clothes, jewellery, electronic items and Mount Gay Rum are available at duty-free prices, particularly in Bridgetown. You will find chattel village shopping areas with craft and gift shops in St Lawrence Gap, Holetown and Speightstown.
