Analakely Market
Bedste tid at besøge
The best time is in the morning between 7 and 10 a.m., when the goods are still fresh, there is the least crowding at the stalls, and the air is cooler than in the afternoon.
Budgettips
Entry to the market is free, and every price can be negotiated, usually down to half of the initial offer. Carry small banknotes in ariary with you, because the merchants don't have change and are reluctant to exchange large sums.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Vaniljen fra plantagerne på østkysten, som boderne her byder på, dækker omkring 80 % af verdens naturlige produktion. Omkring 300 handlende sælger her krydderier, grøntsager, raffia-vævninger og træudskæringer, og enhver pris kan pruttes ned til det halve.
Højdepunkter: I en sidepassage afholdes der hver morgen en vaniljeauktion, hvor prisen pr. gram stiger i løbet af ét minut, og vinderen betaler kontant på stedet. Vaniljeposer lægges på en stor metalvægt, og luften lugter så stærkt af sød vanilje, at hovedet snurrer.
Insidertips
- Wear closed sports shoes; between the stalls the concrete is damp and slippery.
- Photograph the vanilla passage in the morning, when light penetrates between the stall fabrics and there are still few people.
- Skip the souvenir stalls with magnets and keychains; instead buy food and raffia bags.
- Bargain with a smile and without aggression; merchants give better prices to those who smile.
