A postcard from the British Virgin Islands (+a wonderful recipe)!



The British Virgin Islands is a British overseas territory located in the Caribbean in North America. The country consists of 4 main islands and about 50 small islands and cays. The capital is Road Town. The population is about 21,730. Official language – English. Nature is considered to be virgin, as the islands have not changed under the hand of man. Wonderful hills of ancient volcanoes, picturesque bays and coves attract many tourists, though earlier these places were used only as a shelter for pirates and criminals. Besides, the British Virgin Islands are regarded as the most beautiful place in the Carribean. Local population is very tolerant to other cultures. People are very friendly, calm and unhurried in everyday life. Most people are Christian, however, a lot of people retain faith in African beliefs in world of spirits and ghosts. The British Virgin Islands are considered to be one of the most safe places in the Western Hemisphere.
The anthem is «God save the Queen», and here you may listen to the territorial song:
