For an authentic Barbadian vacation
experience, Marisa says . . .
Experience the FOOD!
The Barbados Rum and Food festival is definitely an event I would plan a trip around. It’s held
in November.
Experience the Beauty of the island
Sometimes when my family and I gallivant around Barbados, the landscape, the vivid color, the
untouched radiance of nature just makes us pull the car over! To be driven to some of the best-
kept secret places in Barbados, along a breathtaking route is epic, to me at least.
Experience the People
There are regular spots where you can experience Barbadian culture alongside Barbadians.
The Oistins Fish Fry is the known cause of traffic on the South Coast stretch from Maxwell to
Oistins itself, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. If you prefer smaller crowds, just head in
the other direction and you will soon reach St Lawrence Gap, where there is FOOD and MUSIC
my two favorite things. Check out The Old Jamm Inn for live music of varied genres featuring
Barbados local talents . This is just in the South of the island but all over Barbados are beautiful
interesting places to visit.
