Public Market

TIME : 2016/2/17 17:56:11

Bananas, limes, mangos, eggplant – you’ll find mountains of them at this covered market that is at its most vibrant on Friday and Saturday mornings. Keep an eye out for produce you’re unlikely to find at the supermarket back home, including black pineapple, the reddish flowers of antioxidant-rich sorrel and black tamarind pods. It’s a fun place for a browse, snack or people-watching. The amiably bombastic painted bust outside the market entrance depicts Sir Vere Cornwall Bird. Follow your nose to the fish market across the street, next to the bus station. Upon request, vendors will fillet your selection.
