Caribbean Sea. Historically tied to England, and politically part of
Colombia, San Andrés and the nearby islands of Providencia and Santa
Catalina form the department of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa
Catalina. San Andrés, in the southern group of islands, is the largest of
the department. The official languages of the department are Spanish,
English, and Creole.</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></P>

northern end of the island. Named San Andrés but nicknamed El Centro, it
is the department's main urban center. Along the 30 km (19 mi)
road that circles the island there are many picturesque beaches, coral
reefs, cays, geysers, and coves. Also of note are La Loma, the town of San
Andrés, the Baptist Church, Seaquarium, the large pond of La Laguna, and a
freshwater lake amidst mangrove forests. There are coconut palm
plantations, lush pastures, and tall native trees reaching 20 meters
(66 ft). Surrounded by the warm Caribbean Sea, all of these features
have made the island an "exotic holiday destination"<BR><A
