There is an old history myth that the Caribs would eat the Arawak men and would take their wives. But by the time Columbus arrived in 1493 the Caribs were firmly in control of the island. Though many Spanish [...]]]></description>

Dominica was the last island in the Caribbean to be colonized and therefore it&#8217;s the oldest non-indigenous buildings only date from the second half of the 18th century. Dominica mountainous terrain and the late beginning of European settlement ensured that much of island&#8217;s natural beauty was maintained well into this present century.
