ALBION probably holds its name from the steep cliff that traveller associated with the cliffs of Dover on the English Channel. The main attraction of Albion is the Lighthouse which has guided the ships approaching the capital, Port Louis, 10 miles or 30 minutes to the north east. You can enjoy a short promenade to the sandy public beach. Albion originally grew cotton for the East India Company switching to growing and refining sugar, Mauritius's staple export. The town languished during the latter half of the 20th century and avoided the excesses of the tourist trade. In the twenty first century Albion is becoming a quality residential area - property market is booming - and new shops and restaurants are opening their doors. |
