Dutch Treat
By Linda Tancs
Curacao is a Caribbean island in the Netherland Antilles. Independent from the Dutch politically, culturally the ties are as strong as ever. The official language is Dutch, but this country sandwiched between Aruba and Bonaire has a multicultural flair as well. They call it authenticity. With European and African roots, influences abound from the early slave trade, the Spanish and Portuguese migration and, of course, the Dutch occupation. Largely undiscovered and devoid of tourist traps, the island offers lazy beach days, unparalleled diving and world-class shopping among the sherbet-colored Dutch colonial buildings dotting the capital city of Willemstad. Bon Bini!
