O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Red za redom tezgi nagurano je u uske uličice, gdje prodavači izvikuju ponude i zrak je gust od cimeta i kurkume. Više od 1.000 trgovaca prodaje sve, od mesinganog posuđa do elektronike, a cjenkanje je očekivano tako da često možete smanjiti 20-40% prve cijene.
Istaknuto: U niskim uličicama začina oslobađa se opojna mješavina cimeta, karanfilića i sušenog čilija, gdje jedna tezga može složiti više od 80 različitih začina u staklenim teglama tako da možete pomirisati prije kupovine. Riblji koridor postaje teatralan dok prodavači filetiraju 200-300 kilograma ulova pod fluorescentnim lampama, a mokri pod odražava bljeske noževa i oštar miris soli i limete.
Insajderski savjeti
- Wear closed-toe shoes and lightweight clothes because alleys are narrow and ground can be uneven.
- Keep valuables in a front pocket or money belt and use small denomination notes to speed transactions.
- Ask permission before photographing vendors and focus on colorful fabric stalls and spice towers for the best shots.
- Compare prices across several stalls when buying spices, textiles or electronics, and carry a reusable bag for purchases.
