St. Lucia: Pearl of the Caribbean
St. Lucia is an island nation in the Eastern Caribbean with Castries as its capital. Famous for the twin peaks of the Pitons and its rainforests, this volcanic island has an official language, English, and an economy based on tourism and banana cultivation. The local culture is a mix of African, French and British, and a jazz festival is held every May to attract tourists from all over the world.
Common Misconceptions Clarified: Canary Islands
The term "Canaries" actually refers to the Canary Islands of Spain, located in the Atlantic Ocean. St. Lucia is not geographically related to the Canary Islands. The capital, Castries, is a deep-water port city with colorful markets and colonial architecture, while places like Tenerife in the Canaries are known for their volcanic landscapes and European resorts.
Tourism and economic highlights
The Soufrière region of St. Lucia, with its World Heritage sites and sulphur springs, lends itself to eco-tourism, while the Canary Islands are known for astronomical observation and beach vacations. Both are popular destinations, but St. Lucia, as an independent country, is also attracting international attention for its Immigrant Investor Program.
