Unlikely in Maputo, Mozambique's capital, in Luanda I couldn't find local people selling their wood handcrafted ART in the street !!! - This fact was very disappointing since I was traveling to Luanda expecting to buy quite a few of those Pau Preto ("black wood") handcrafted art pieces.
Only in some particular shops, at the airport for instance, I did find those art pieces for sale. And those folk art pieces were quite expensive at those shops !!! - Prices were $20 USD or $50 USD and up !!! .. /.... very, very disappointing ..../ Theme: Art

Intermarket is the best located grocery store in Luanda, being right by the port and protected by a guard in the parking lot. They sell most foods and some drug items, and housewares, and have a small household furniture section as well.
Food items are basic, but they have the staples, plus milk and some cheeses. They typically do not have bread. The deli is questionable, healthwise. Cleaning supplies are good, vegetables are iffy.
Prices are ok, and they have a bank in the store to change USD and Euros into the local currency, kwanzas. Exchange rate is usually competative with street. They will take dollars if the bank is not open. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkAddress: Major KanyanguloDirections: Northeast on Major Kanyagulo at the bottom of the Serpentine. Gate is on the bay side of the road, and is not marked clearly; look for the big tin gate.

 Buy the Mint! by scarm
I found the markets to be very busy and interesting places, with stiff competition between the young boys to be the one you choose to accompany you to carry your purchases and to provide you with the plastic bags to carry your goods. Enterprising lads!
Take a good look around and buy what looks good. It is worthwhile to sit in one of the cabanas that usually abut these markets and drink a gasosa (soft drink) or a beer, in order to get an idea of the flow of the place.
Best to go with a guide, though. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkAddress: Passing through Cacuaco, going north, on the right
