Guadeloupe looks like a butterfly from high above. Its two main islands, Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre, look like wings, and the international airport and the biggest city in the country, Pointe-à-Pitre, are located in the middle. Even though the name Grande-Terre translates as “the Big Land”, this island is smaller than Basse-Terre. Grande-Terre is big in comparison to two small islands situated nearby.
