Barbados, Island nation in Caribbean Sea
The easternmost Caribbean country covers 432 square kilometers with coral reefs surrounding the coastline and limestone formations across the terrain.
British settlers colonized the island in 1627, establishing sugar plantations that operated with African labor until independence in 1966.
English remains the official language, with local traditions incorporating African, British, and Indian influences through music, dance, and traditional festivals.
Transportation around the island relies on an extensive road network connecting Bridgetown with northern beaches and eastern coastal regions.
The underground Harrison's Cave system extends through the central highlands, featuring crystallized limestone formations and flowing streams beneath the surface.
