Add some spice to your life with a panoramic tour of Grenada, the Spice Island. At the Dougaldson Spice Estate, you will discover how its signature spices—including cinnamon, turmeric and ginger—are processed. The visit will be fascinating and wonderfully aromatic, as you pass the racks of fresh spices drying in the sun. If you spot monkeys in the trees, they are Monas, a species introduced in the 18th century. The focus turns to nutmeg at a nearby spice processor that contributes greatly to Grenada’s rank as the world’s second-largest exporter of nutmeg. While browsing a spice market in downtown St. George’s, you may see even more types of spices, such as cloves, bay leaves and allspice, which is made from the dried berries of trees commonly known as Jamaica Peppers. Still, not everything in Grenada revolves around spices, as you will discover at Grand Etang, a national park with a beautiful volcanically formed lake. Visit the Clarke’s Court Rum Factory. It is a “must see” for all visitors, it is the Island’s best-known and largest distillery and one of the most interesting historical sites. The next stop is a local Laura Herbs and Spices. It is the trademark of Grenada, being known as the ‘Isle of Spice’.
