Grenada is the nature and spice island – the world's largest nutmeg producer and also a large cocoa bean grower.
Guadeloupe, on the other hand, is a French colony and has an incredible culinary tradition. This is where the term “Creole cuisine” comes from, which is characterised by French, Indian and African influences. Here we had the opportunity to enjoy the world champion chef’s menu with him in person. St. Vincent & the Grenadines is a natural paradise with black beaches, on which the film “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” was filmed.

Caribbean Moments shows a different side to the Caribbean. Everyone visualises sand, sunshine and palm trees – but hardly anyone really discovers what lies behind them. In fact an unbelievable variety of cultures, music and religions has developed as a result of the different influences – African, Indian, English, French and authentically Caribbean.
This documentary series attempts to portray the people - be they the Rastas, who have a lot to say about their mission, the Amerindians in Trinidad, who still have their own Queen, or the Black Caribs – a mixture of escaped slaves and Caribs.
In addition, of course, there’s a huge variety of music: steelpan, parang, calypso, soca and chutney soca shape Trinidad, whilst other islands are especially scenically beautiful, such as Dominica, which is actually a single rain forest and which seduces with its abundant vegetation. Here too are the true Caribs, who occupy themselves with traditional boat building in the same way as their ancestors did centuries ago.
The films were produced in 6 parts to create a documentary series that shows what lies beneath the surface.

The French Caribbean Island Guadeloupe looks from above like two butterfly wings. Its two islands Grande Terre and Basse Terre are separated only by a narrow channel. The modern infrastructure and the good food are mixed with the local culture. Gwoka is the music of Guadeloupe, which is reminiscent of slavery.
Located on the lesser Antilles, Guadeloupe is the French part of the Caribbean and belongs to the European Union. It consists out of different islands: Grande Terre consists of limestone with long beautiful beaches, Basse Terre is a mountainous island with extensive rainforest and the volcano, la Soufrière. There are also the smaller islands of Marie-Galante and La Désirade, the Îles de la Petite Terre and the Îles des Saintes.
When Christopher Columbus came to Guadeloupe in 1493, the existing populations were the Caribs. But Christopher Columbus did not stay, because the Spanish wanted to discover larger islands. The smaller island in the Caribbean were colonized by the British and French, so in 1635 Guadeloupe by the French. It was mainly farmers from Normandie, Brittany and Charente settled on the island and cultivated Coffee and sugarcane plantations.
With the French revolution, slavery was abolished in 1794, but it was reintroduced by Napoleon in 1802 because of the cheap labour and lasted until 1848.
The civilization today is creole, a melting pot: French, the descendants of black slaves, Indian immigrants, Syrian-Libanese immigrants and nowadays Chinese immigrants. Creole cuisine is a mixture of European food with African ingredients, oriental flavours and products from the Caribbean.
Gwoka is the traditional music on Guadeloupe, but not only music and danse, but also the joy of life and a reminder of the time of slavery

Grenada Travel Guide
Grenada Travel Guide - Isn't that the place that the US invaded in the '80s? Didn't it get munched by a hurricane a few years ago? Grenada is used to bad press. But like a fighter on the ropes, it's come out swinging and has reinvented itself as the next big thing. The one big island and two small ones plonked in the sea in the southeast corner of the Caribbean are undiscovered and rarely visited.
Grenada Island is elliptically shaped and alive with a rainforested interior. Underrated beaches line the coast and sublime scuba diving is on offer just below the surface. St George's, the largest town, has one of the most picturesque waterfronts in all of the Caribbean. Stone buildings, forts from a forgotten time and houses of all colors meld into a hilly buffet of urban aesthetics. Friendly, welcoming locals go about their lives and are happy to include you in the process. Carriacou is a step back in time. With a cadence a notch or two slower then Grenada Island, this petite isle is a relaxed affair where endearing locals and an eclectic village life is added to sublime scenery. And if that sounds too busy, head over to Petit Martinique where even less happens -- and the locals like it that way.
Enjoy Your Grenada Travel Guide!

MY LAST WEEKS IN THE CARIBBEAN - Discovering Grenada and St. George's
SUBSCRIBE TO SEE MORE VIDEOS
CHIARIBBEAN is my series about my travels and sailing in the Caribbean islands. I am traveling around on the Caribbean Sea with a family of 3 and their sailboat, called Britican. Subscribe to their YouTube channel:
In this episode we will be back to Grenada, the spice island of the Caribbean. I will bring you to the Grenada's underwater sculptor park, made by Jason deCaires Taylor. After that I will be in the city center of St. George's, which is the capital of Grenada. I will go around the port and market areas, climb up to the hill of the Fort George. As it always happens in the Caribbean islands, also this time I found a live music concert with steel drums.
After the main island of Grenada, we went to Carriacou in Tyrell Bay and I saw the most beautiful sunset of my life in Petit Saint Vincent, which is a tropical private island in the middle of the Caribbean Sea.
These were my last weeks together with Simon, Kim and Sienna and with their sailboat Britican. In the end of the video you will see bits of my last sail with them, which was quite sad as I needed to leave after spending almost three months together.
I will be leaving from Grenada, but there's still one adventure left on the Caribbean Islands. Stay tuned for my next video.

Grenada besteht aus mehreren Inseln der Inselgruppe der Grenadinen, einem Teilarchipel der Kleinen Antillen. Grenada hat sich als Gewürzinsel einen Namen gemacht. Im Landesinneren erinnern die vielen erloschenen Krater an den vulkanischen Ursprung.
Ursprünglich von den Arawak besiedelt, wurden diese von den Kariben verdrängt, bevor Christoph Columbus hier 1498 anlegte und die Insel La Concepcion nannte. Grenada könnte in Anlehnung an die andalusische Stadt Granada seinen Namen erhalten haben. St. Georges, die heute Hauptstadt, wurde 1650 als Fort Royal von den Franzosen gegründet und architektonisch geprägt von dem französischen Landhausstil aus dem 18.Jhd. und dem englischen viktorianischen Stil aus dem 19. Jhd.
Die Dokumentation ist ein Streifzug über die Insel, gewährt Einblicke in die Verarbeitung der traditionellen Exportgüter wie das Zuckerrohr, die Muskatnuss, die Kakaobohne, die Kultur und Glaubensrichtung der Rastafari und natürliche die musikalische Kultur, wie etwa die der Tivoli-Trommler.
Überfahrt nach Carriacou , eine kleine Insel des Inselstaats, die von wunderschönen Stränden gesäumt wird. Die Einwohner leben hauptsächlich von der Fischerei und betreiben als wirtschaftliches Standbein einen traditionellen Bootsbau.

The beauty of the nature of Tobago once inspired Daniel Defoe to let his famous castaway Robinson Crusoe land there. The island appeared to the hero as a planted Garden of Eden, and it is still impressive today. Main Rich Forest Reserve is the earliest preserved virgin rainforest in the western hemisphere (since 1776).
Arawak people were the first settlers on the island. Later the Caribs came from South America. The name Chistopher Columbus gave the island in 1498 was Bellaforma, later it became the name Tobago from Tobacco, which was growm on the island. Tobago was colonised by the British Empire. With the colonization different plants come to the island, such as cocoa and sugar cane. Plantations of these plants were driven with the labour force of slaves until the abolishment of slavery in 1833.
The island state Trinidad and Tobago belongs geographycally to South America, because of its nature. At the end of the last ice age melting glaciers caused the sea level to raise turning Trinidad and Tobago into islands.
Ian Flemming was inspired by the book Birds of the West Indies, written by the ornithologist james Bond, who made his research on Tobago and gave its name to the very famous protagonist of his romans: the British secret agent, Commander James Bond.
The documentation shows also the different fishing methods of the tobagonians. Some still fish in a very traditional manner by throwing the fishing nets into the sea and pull them back on the beach. The locals sell the fish at the market in Scarborough.
Liming ist the tobagonian art of doing nothing. People get together, drink and play cards. And of course music plays an important role on the village. Every Sunday is Sunday school, a huge street party featuring bands playing the steelpan.
Grenada Travel Video Guide
Grenada Travel Video Guide - Christopher Columbus discovered Grenada in 1498. The island was already inhabited by the Carib Indians, who had migrated from the South American mainland, killing or enslaving the peaceful Arawaks who were already inhabitants there. The Amerindians called their island Camerhogue, but Columbus renamed it Concepción. However, travelling Spanish sailors found its lush green hills so evocative of Andalusia that they rejected this name in favor of Granada.
Over the centuries, although control of the island passed from France to Britain (and briefly back to France again), the name endured with just the slightest of alterations, changing from Granada to La Grenade to Grenada.
The French were the first to settle and travel to Grenada. Legend holds that in 1652 the last of the defending Caribs rather than be ruled by the French, threw themselves into the sea from a spot that was christened Le Morne des Sauteurs, and is known today as Leapers' Hill and Carib's Leap.
Exploited first for indigo (hence the name of an area True Blue), and later for sugar production, the island prospered and, like many others in the Caribbean, attracted the attention of the British. Captured by Admiral George Rodney in 1762, near the end of the European Seven Years' War (1756-63), Grenada reverted to French rule from 1779 until 1783 when the island was restored to Britain by the Treaty of Versailles.
The inhabitants' loyalties remained divided between the two European powers for many years, as illustrated by Fedon's Rebellion of 1795. In the course of this violent episode, a group of rebels under the command of the mulatto General Julien Fedon, and inspired by the rhetoric of the French Revolution wreaked havoc on the island and its British settlers in an unsuccessful attempt to reunite with France.

It's one of Grenada's best-kept secrets, the lovely stretch of beach called BBC. Here's what it's like on the sand.
Grenada: The Caribbean Island of Spice
It is 20 years since I first filmed in Grenada and if you love the Island of Spice you might spot a few features that have been lost in the mists of time. Although hurricanes have taken their toll, there are still fine examples of the 17th century French and English architecture in the town of St. Georges which developed around the fort and is evidence of the struggle for power in the Caribbean. In this introduction to the island we visit Grand Etang Forest Reserve, Annandale Falls, spice plantations, the local market and explore the harbour, the town, the fort, the beaches, and, of course, sample the food. For more information: visit and check out episode #136 in the International category.
Grenada - the spice island (Travel Video)
We travelled through Grenada and Carriacou for two and a half weeks mainly by bus. We stayed at a couple of great places and really enjoyed our stay on Carriacou. Luckily the tropical storm Bret lost power and only a bit of rain reached us.
