Our evaluation by month

The island of Barbados is located at the edge of the Caribbean Sea and at the gates of the Atlantic Ocean, in addition to the handful of islands that like a corolla of flowers enclose the Caribbean Sea in the arms of Central America. It is a single island, not an archipelago as one might think from the name and proximity to the other Caribbean islands. It consists of beaches around the coast and gentle hills in the central part. The most important urban centers, including the capital, Bridgetown, are located on the coast.
