Guadeloupe

Guadeloupe has been a French possession since 1635. The island of Saint Martin is shared with the Netherlands; its southern portion is named Sint Maarten and is part of the Netherlands Antilles and its northern portion is named Saint-Martin and is part of Guadeloupe.

Guadeloupe is an archipelago of nine inhabited islands, including Basse-Terre, Grande-Terre, Marie-Galante, La Desirade, Iles des Saintes (2), Saint-Barthelemy, Iles de la Petite Terre, and Saint-Martin (French part of the island of Saint Martin).

Climate of Guadeloupe is subtropical tempered by trade winds; moderately high humidity.

Basse-Terre: the administrative capital of Guadeloupe. If you are in the city, the fort Delgrès is worth to see and the entrance is free. Vieux Fort: the southern point of Guadeloupe mainland, with its lighthouse. Bouillante, on the west coast of Basse Terre. It's the best spot of the island to snorkel and of course to dive. Gosier: maybe one of the most animated places of Guadeloupe to enjoy nightlife.
