This travel guide explores the beautiful coral island of cricket and calypso, cotton and rum, so popular with British visitors. A local writer guides readers around the fishing beaches and resorts, to the less-well-known interiors, strewn with chattel houses, windmills and reminders of a colonial past. This small carry-along guidebook offers an informative introduction to Barbados, from its historical background and culture, to the latest events and attractions. For travellers with limited time, suggested tours are also included.
