    REASONS TO VISIT LUCIA
    St. Lucia, one of the most beautiful Caribbean islands is known for its magnificent, lush scenery, particularly in the south and around the famous Soufrière. Getaway in the luxury of the famous Calabash Cove, St. Lucia is a popular spot for those seeking to be pampered. Come jazz it up at the annual St. Lucia Jazz Festival which draws performers and listeners from all over around the world. Explore Castries, one of the most beautifully situated Caribbean cities. Surrounded by hills, its large harbour at the head of a wide bay is a constant hive of activity. Head for the spacious Derek Walcott Square which features a 19th-century Catholic Cathedral, standing in the shade of a 400-year-old samaan tree. There is also a colourful, bustling market. Head to the top of Marigot Bay, a secluded, palm-fringed paradise. From here you can visit the Cul de Sac - an area famous for its three large banana plantations where the original Dr Doolittle was filmed. Take a trip to Soufrière, the second-largest settlement on the island. This deep-water port stands at the foot of two extinct volcanoes known as the Pitons. Rising to 798m (2,619ft) above sea level, these are probably St Lucia's most famous landmarks. The town itself is typically West Indian, a cluster of brightly painted arcaded buildings set against the jungle vista.
