Guadeloupe is a French overseas department and region located in the central part of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea, consisting of the main island of Guadeloupe (divided into the islands of Basseterre and Grande Terre) and the surrounding smaller islands. As a French overseas territory, it combines the French administrative system with a Caribbean flavor, with Basseterre as its capital. Famous for its tropical rainforests, volcanic landscapes (such as the Soufrière Hills volcano) and white sandy beaches, tourism is the mainstay of the economy. The local culture is a blend of French, African and Caribbean elements, with Creole and French spoken side by side, and a cuisine known for its seafood, spiced dishes and rum. As one of the westernmost regions of the European Union, Guadeloupe has retained its European cultural heritage, but with the energy and warmth of the Caribbean.
