Helpful Information about Barbados |
|
Barbados is mainly a flat coral island about 166 sq. miles in size with white sandy beaches and sparkling blue waters.
When the Portuguese discovered Barbados in the 16th century they noticed that the bearded fig tree grew in abundance and christened the island Los Barbados which was then shortened to Barbados. The bearded fig tree is viewed as unusual because it sends aerial roots from its branches, therefore appearing as if it is bearded.
