one day we rented a little moto and rode around the island...twice!! the beaches were gorgeous and deliciously unspoiled...but the real highlight was feasting on the local black crab. It's a type of land crab that's found only in Providencia and nearby San Andres. Its tendency to eat fruits high up in the hills makes the meat sweet and succulent....we found a restaurant (on the capitan's recommendation) that served it to us four different ways. providence indeed.
