A Property Guide to the Caribbean
The Caribbean is the name of a region in the Americas which consists of some 7,000 different islands - also commonly known as the West Indies.  Situated in the Caribbean sea the main islands are the Greater Antilles and the Lesser Antilles, as well as the Bahamas and Bermuda - all well know tourist locations for travellers around the world.  The islands did once attempt to create a new “country” in the shape of the Federation of the West Indies but this never really took off and they reverted back to the more general description of the area.

Property in Barbados
Barbados was discovered by Portuguese explorer Pedro Campos in 1536, when he named the island  Os Barbados (“The Bearded Ones”) which was subsequently shortened to Barbados.  The Island is located just off the coast of South America, with Venezuela the nearest major neighbour.  The island of Barbados is situated in a group of islands which include the tourist havens of Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Trinidad and Tobago. Barbados itself is part of the Lesser Antilles, with a land area of 430 square kilometres (23 kilometres wide and 34 kilometres long at the widest points).

Newsflash

On the road linking Rabat and Tangier lies Kenitra along the Atlantic Ocean by the Sebour River.  Marshal Louis Hubert Gonzalve Lyauteyin founded Kenitra in 1912. He was the primary French resident general who converted Kenitra into a military fort in place of Larache.  It was under Lyauteyin’s rule when Kenitra was renamed Port Lyauteyin. In 1965 when the French relinquished Morocco over to Moroccan rule the name was changed into Kenitra.

Nowadays, Kenitra is still a very significant naval base and it is exporting grains, fruits, vegetables, citrus and zinc coming from the Midlet and cork souced from the Mamora forests.  The city also ventured into textile milling, tobacco processing, fish importation and fertilizer processing.
