Sobre
Fatos rápidos: A vast market hums with sounds of bargaining and the aromas of coffee, spices and dried fruit. People from various surrounding regions come to buy in bulk, offering everything from textiles to electronics at prices that often fall after energetic haggling.
Destaques: Narrow alleys surprise you with an orchestra of smells from roasted peanuts, cloves and freshly ground coffee, accompanied by loud calls from vendors that create a lively, tactile atmosphere. At one well-known crossroads a group of about a hundred regular customers keeps their place, exchanging short stories and jokes every morning, a ritual that can last an hour and sounds like a local live radio.
