Living in Saint Lucia
Saint Lucia is located in the Caribbean, in between Martinique to the north and St Vincent and the Grenadines to the south. It has just under 180,000 residents. The island has a colonial past, being under both French and British rule at different points in history but became independent in 1979. It is a Commonwealth nation, however. Saint Lucia’s landscape is considerably more rugged and mountainous compared to other Caribbean islands; the Pitons mountains are quite iconic and a symbol for the country. The island has a tropical climate, with dry and wet seasons rather than the four seasons of the UK. For such a small country, Saint Lucia actually has quite a diverse export market. It produces oil, bananas, beer, thermometers and aerials amongst other miscellaneous commodities. Tourism remains the largest source of income though, and the island has a variety of tourist resorts, including luxury all-inclusive complexes. Two thirds of Saint Lucians are Roman Catholics, while one in four are Protestant Christians. St Lucia has a range of national festivals; traditional events include La Rose and La Marguerite while there is also a renowned annual Jazz festival held on the island. This event draws an international crowd and involves multiple stages.
