Caribbean the Bahamas , 6th (Country Regional Guides - Cadogan)

Just thinking about the Caribbean and the Bahamas instantly conjures up images of beautiful sandy beaches, turquoise sea and colorful villages. But each of the many different islands has their own unique character, which expert author James Henderson captures perfectly in Cadogan''s acclaimed guide. He explores the very different histories, architecture and culture, from the French Caribbean to Puerto Rico. He ventures into the Caribbean cities and admires their glorious buildings; and, of course, he finds the most idyllic beaches on which to relax, plus for the more energetic, there are plenty of details of where to snorkel and dive. With a movie-set scenery surrounding, from stunning coastlines to coconut tree-clad mountains and valleys of sugar cane, it is all too easy to forget about the strains of everyday life back home, so relax and go with the Caribbean flow.
