Anguilla
Population (inhabitants), economy, relief and climate of Anguilla:
This island is an old British colony from 1650. The inhabitants of the island, descendants of Africans and Europeans, are involved in activities such as tourism and fishing where the captures of lobster are the most important. It is a tax heaven because here are no taxes and the profit and other earnings are not assessable. (Find more journeys on blog.worldlifetimejourneys.com) It’s an island made by coral reefs and calcareous concretion situated to the east of Puerto Rico and to the north of Saint Martin. Surprisingly the climate is tropical but dry and cool because of the winds coming from the northeastern part. The annual average of the temperature is around 26-27º C. It has few natural resources and its national economy is helped by Great Britain and also through tourism, fishing and the good financial system. Visit Anguilla!
