Maldives / Male' / Attractions / The Local Market

The Local Market just a block away is divided into small stalls.

Here the pace is slower and the atmosphere more peaceful. The atmosphere is enhanced by the pale green light that filters through the fine green mesh that adorn all its windows and doors. Eachstall is filled with a variety of local produce mainly from the atolls.

Here you will find different kinds of local vegetables, fruits and yams, packets of sweetmeat, nuts and breadfruit chips, bottles of home made sweets and pickles and bunches of bananas hanging on coir ropes from ceiling beams. Another building just next door sells smoked and dried fish.
