We visited a market in Praia on the Plateau. This market has been here since Colonial times. It was well organized and roomy compared to other markets that we visited, and it was one of the cleanest markets that we have ever visited. Vendors were very civil here and not aggressive or annoyed with us at all. The fruits and vegetables looked good but not great. The fish looked good. They had everything that anyone could want to buy here. It was an indoor, two-story market.

I took the first photo from the top story, looking down on the ground floor of the market.

I soon learned that these people didn't care if I took photos or not. They minded their business and not mine.

This market also had small food places, like mini-fast-food joints. I took this photo from the second floor of the market. The customer at the counter was eating a noodle dish.

I was more impressed with the fish than most everything else in the market. That was true as well for the rest of West Africa.

I would really have liked to take home some of the fish that this lady was cutting up. It looked fabulous!

We left the market but just as I stepped outside, the guy below drove up in a small wheeled vehicle. The fish in the back stuck out of the back of his vehicle bed. It was a yellow-fin tuna.
