Markets
In the
nearby town of Inhambane, one can take time to meet the friendly local
people, stroll through the market, visit the museum and African crafts
shops.
Most provisions can be purchased in and around the market.
Mozambique is well-known for its two tier pricing system and it often
pays off to try a bit of hard bargaining.
There
are a number of local cafes/restaurants that don’t look much from the
outside but offer good meals.
Vasco
da Gama, a Portuguese seafarer, discovered Inhambane in 1498 and called
it “Terra de Boa Gente” which means land of the kind people. Inhambane
has a long history a lot of which is recorded in the local museum.
Much
closer to the resort in the surrounding area, are local markets. Here
one has the chance to buy traditionally baked bread, pao or take a drink
in one of the local Shabins.
Local
hawkers regularly visit the resort with their wares, selling fresh
bread, prawns, fish and curios. |
