Our latest edition of Meet the Caribbean heads to the island of Marie Galante in the Guadeloupe Islands archipelago, one of the rum and sugar production hubs of the Caribbean — and home to great food, white -sand beaches and intoxicating culture.

With just over 12,000 inhabitants and about 171 square kilometres; it’s located about 30 kilometres south of the “main islands” of Guadeloupe, Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre.
