The larger islands of the Caribbean between
Cuba and puerto rico are often called the
greater antilles, to distinguish them from
the lesser antilles to the east. The small
islands from the Virgin islands to dominica
are sometimes called the leeward islands;
and the islands to the south (Martinique to
grenada), the Windward islands.
