There is a sanatorium in Grenada in the Altai Territory , founded in 1997. At that time, the times were not the most suitable for building new health resorts, and the more surprising was the emergence of an islet of health, and even with a Spanish name.
Altai is an amazing place where many landscapes are combined: steppes with forests, lakes with mountain peaks. UNESCO recognized the territory of this region as one of the best for recreation and living, and according to some sources Altai is called the second Shambhala.
Blessed land
These places cannot leave anyone indifferent, at least once having been here. Altai is the heart of Eurasia, it has collected almost all the climatic zones of the continent.
Due to the remoteness of the oceans, temperatures in the summer period reach forty degrees. Winter in Altai is frosty, but more often calm (possibly due to the protection of the mountains), however, the thermometer can drop to -50 ° C. Precipitation falls more often in mountain and steppe regions, their annual rate is about 900 mm. Summer thunderstorms are short-lived and give way to clear weather. The sun in these places is a frequent guest in the summer, and therefore, for the construction of health resorts Altai is one of the best territories.
However, human intervention was not painless for the nature of this blessed corner of the planet. Ecology has suffered irreparable damage: explosions at the Semipalatinsk test site, the work and construction of heavy and chemical industries, the emissions of which into the atmosphere affect the health of residents, including those working at these plants.
The construction of the Grenada sanatorium in the Altai Territory turned out to be very helpful, and the area allocated for the health resort is rather big - 20 hectares.
