Introducing Castries

Walking along the crowded streets of Castries, one is bombarded with the kinetics of a city that is on the go. With the three-four rhythm of a throbbing calypso beat that permeates everywhere, the town has a pulse that ebbs and flows. Sights and smells overwhelm as slashes of color and wafts of fresh food snake through the crowded streets. The cultural soul of the city is the market area – it heaves and vibrates, with the locals scurrying to fetch their wares and sell their goods.

Busy, run-down streets – packed with pedestrians, cars, buses and taxis – form a grid of compact humanity. Sticky hot and minus any true aesthetics, the city’s charm lives in the emotive response it evokes in the visitor.
