| Things to do on Granada while staying at LaSOURCE, The Amazing Holiday™ |
Granada is a small island, only 21 miles long and 12 miles across. It can take the better part of a day to go from one end to the other and back because of the winding roads, but it is well worth the trip. Seeing villages, a spice plantation, nutmeg processing plant, and rum distillery gave me a better appreciation of the people who live there and a "feel of place." Here are some of the places I visited while staying a LaSource...

St. Georges Maps for walking tours around the capital city of St. Georges will take you through this picturesque city wrapped around the shores of the island's natural harbor. It was founded in the early 18th century by the French. The red tile on the roofs were used for ballast on ships. |

 The Esplanade on Wharf Road (which goes around the perimeter of The Carenage) |
 Colorful and bustling Market Square is the main site for the purchase and sale of local produce. It's open every day but busiest on Saturdays. |

 Aromatic, earthy necklaces made from nutmeg with and without mace, cloves, cinnamon, and other spices and seeds were available everywhere. |
 Calabash are used for many things including bowls, purses, rattles, and decoration. This mask was purchased at Tikal, a shop in St. Georges. |

Concord Falls |

|
The Concord Falls trail leads down through rainforest canopy, over hilltops and gurgling brooks, to bring you to the triple cascades of the Concord Falls. The lowest of the three is a very popular swimming area, camping spot, and tourist attraction, with modern facilities surrounding its generous swimming area. The upper falls, about twenty minutes' hike up the river, are definitely worth the short walk, as they are much less visited and even more beautiful. The 40 ft/12 m cascade plunges down through the thick vegetation to an inviting pool that offers a much more tranquil swim than you will find at the lower falls. The third and uppermost of the three cascades of Concord Falls lies considerably higher up the mountain and requires about two hours further hiking. |
