Batabano Carnival 2012 Part 1 Grand Cayman Island

Batabano (officially called Cayman Carnival Batabano) is the name of the Caribbean Carnival held in the Cayman Islands. It is an annual event held in May. There are two parades during this time in Grand Cayman: one for adults and one for children. Batabano was launched by the Rotary Club in 1984. The word Batabano is linked to the Island's history in turtling and is the word given to the tracks left by turtles when they drag themselves onto the beach to nest in the sand. So, people around the world, I'm inviting you to visit the Cayman Islands and other Islands in the Caribbean. It's more fun in the Caribbean!
