The
market is a place you must visit when in
Antigua, particularly on Saturday mornings. The market is
opposite West Street Bus Station and opens from early in
the morning. If you visit from
5.30am on Saturday morning, you will be astounded at the crowds of
local villagers arriving with fruit and vegetables to
sell, and empty shopping baskets to fill.
The
market hall is relatively new, as the market used to be
down the road outside. On Saturdays however there are
many stall holders who set up their wares outside the
market. Every stall sells different produce, breadfruit,
mangoes, soursap, sugar apples, pineapples, dasheen,
tamarind are just a few of the locally found fruit and
vegetables. |
