These are
pictures of the street market in Santos. The street market happens on the same
street on a specific day each week, usually in the morning from 7 a. m. to
about 1 p. m. except on Mondays. They can be short about 4 blocks, or long,
over 13 blocks.
I love to
go to the street market because the products are much better than the ones in
the supermarkets. You can touch the products to check if they are green or ripe.
There are different stalls such as potatoes, onions, garlic, fruits, coconut,
eggs, greens, potted plants and flowers as well as, seafood, chicken, clothing,
shoes, home appliances, hygiene and cleaning items, toys, and so on. There are
also stands that fix pans, straw seats on chairs and pressure cookers. There
are stalls where sell small savory snacks such as a pear-shaped
deep-fried chicken filled croquette, pastry envelope with different
fillings and a torpedo-shaped croquette (both deep fried in vegetable oil), a
small pizza-like bread with topping and sugarcane juice.
It’s very
funny to go to the street market because the sellers announce their produces by
crying and saying funny things like “Hey, beautiful girls do not pay, but also
do not take the products”. The vendors offer pieces of fruits to try!
So, going to
the street market is good because you buy good produce, you stroll, which is
good for your health, and you have fun as well.
Wishing you a nice week! Sandra
