InTambacounda we saw also this streetstall with plenty of melons. There was a lot of tropical fruit available in Senegal and the Gambia during our visit.
Instead of Europe where you will find many sorts of vegetables or fruits in the shop or marketstall of the greengrocer, you will find in Africa often stalls with only one or two types of fruit.
In the period we travelled in the region, it looked like it was the harvest time of the melons, because there were so many stalls all along the road with huge amounts of melons. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and Drink

This is a very plesant art gallery in centreville Dakar. You can go inside but not make pictures. Theres usually great Senegalese painters exhibiting there and you can have an idea of how the Senegalese contemporary art is doing nowadays.
For what I've seen, this should be a very good opportunity of buying very well known senegalese artists that actually live outside senegal (with international carrer) at a lower price than buying it in Paris...
Even though, expect to pay a lot of money. These artists are the top of senegal and in France they are worth thousands... Leave a Comment Theme: ArtAddress: Rue Ramez BourgiPhone: 0212511Directions: center de la culture et de la comunication

This is one of the liviest markets I've seen in the country. Many goods can be found here cos this city stands to be the economic centre for all the East part of the country, everyone from other parts of eastern Senegal comes here to buy goods.
You can buy almost everything, from china imported tissues to fruit, onions and traditional handicraft, typical senegalese painted tissues and other fabrics ,all bath and beuty products and basicaly everything you could imagine.
The price will depend on your hability to argue and make business. As they see you are a tourist they will double or triple te price of goods. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: After the Boulevard Demba Diop turn left on the BNDS bank and youll see al the action on the street.

In Goree Island you have dozens of street art sellers that exhibit their traditional senegalese look like paintings on the streets and in strategic point all around the island. You'll see the paintings usually look all the same. If youre interested on buying some, you could stay talking to the artists and make pretty good business on very interesting works of art.
Canvas and painted tissues. Every artist have its own personal style, but the influences coma all from the same place of course. They are from senegal and they paint what they are, no doubt. Its a good chance of getting unique pices of art i say.
Depends on your hablity of dealing and in how many paintigs you will buy. Leave a Comment Theme: ArtDirections: All around the island specialy near the old canon.

In Dakar, near the Port you have many streets that sell old mask. Some are fake and are atcually new just put on the sun to look old, but, if you know this subject you can find really good masterpieces at a very good price. I was ofered to buy 3 big masks for about 100euros. Only the price of one in Europe would be almost twice of three times higher.
Masks and old handicarft from West Africa. You have ritual mask from Mali to Ghana, to Burkina Faso to Togo. Its just a matter of choice and negociate the price.
The price depends on the age of the object you have in mind, its size and on your capacity of making good deals. Leave a Comment Theme: AntiquesDirections: Near Hotel de Ville on BD El Hajd Djily Mbaye and Rue Berebger Feraud.

Music instruments as Djemb? and Kora. Very nice glass jewelry. Handmade dresses and skirts, pottery, beautiful batiks, paintings, masks etc. are the souvenirs which remember you of the nice population and their hard working.
Don't forget to bargain until 1/2 of the price Leave a Comment Theme: Art

On the side of the road in many towns in Tamba Region, you can find these types or arches. they are often made with metal material and put some strange decoration aldo with metal pieces. they paint these arcs in very strong colours giving it a very odd looking objects.

On the streets of VelingaraI found very different objects selling on the street. Actually I found that the city produces lots of different craft that is after reselled in other regions of the country. Its close contact with the border with The Gambia makes a very important place in economic terms for local people and both border cities Velingara Senegal side and Basse Santa-Su Gambian side.
These special and caracteristic ceramics can be found here at a very good price. People sell them on te road side on the main street heading Casamance region. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft
