Society & Culture
This week the Travel Show takes you to the Southern Caribbean gem of Barbados. Barbados is different to other Caribbean island destinations. Geographically it lies in the Windward Islands of the West Indies, apart from the arc of other islands and a little further out into the wild Atlantic. While it's justifiably famed for its fantastic beaches, fine powdery sand and brilliant turquoise bays, you’ll find crashing surf on the lonely east coast. The capital Bridgetown with its historic British Garrison dates back to the 17th century and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It’s people, its culture and its history are all very distinct. 2018 is the Year of Culinary Experiences in Barbados – which means delicious festivals and foodie events all year long.
