The Jamaican Culture speaks through Bonita Jamaica

BonitaJamaica.com describes itself as a movement that positively promotes Jamaica in the global community. Bonita also means pretty in Spanish but what Bonita Jamaica conveys is a website deeply rooted in the Jamaican culture.

There are no fancy features or bells and whistles. This is definitely not an out of the box website built to simply capture the search engine spiders.

The website layout is simple with the navigation links on the left but the content is very engaging. For starters if you are just discovering the Jamaican culture, the site has resource information about Jamaica similar to a wikipedia type site. But what I found quite attractive was the picture gallery including over 100 Flickr groups. How better to show potential visitors the unique nature of the Jamaican culture than the images of Jamaica. My personal favourites are the following groups

However, there are 97 more groups to check and I guarantee that you will find images of Jamaica that you like. I would recommend adding this site to your bookmarks. BonitaJamaica.com speaks Jamaican in a beautiful way.
