Barbados has a population of about 290,000, with English as the official language alongside Bajan Creole spoken locally. Its currency is the Barbadian Dollar (BBD), and the climate is tropical, with a wet season from June to November and a dry season from December to May.
Visitors are drawn to Barbados for its turquoise waters, pristine beaches, and vibrant culture: exploring the historic streets of Bridgetown, surfing or relaxing on the Platinum Coast, visiting botanical gardens and wildlife reserves, or discovering the island’s rich colonial history and plantation estates. Barbadian cuisine is flavorful and fresh, featuring dishes like flying fish and cou-cou, macaroni pie, pudding and souse, and tropical fruits such as mango, papaya, and coconut. The population is primarily of African descent, with deep cultural roots expressed through music genres like calypso and reggae, lively festivals such as Crop Over, and local arts and crafts that showcase the island’s heritage.
