Coastal Market

In the morning, when the heat is not at its strongest the colorful Mompox market bustles into life. For years this market has been selling vegetables, fruits, fish and meat from The Oven, a fertile land next to the river. Sitting on the sidewalk or behind rustic wooden stalls are various vendors, especially women, offering pork, a variety of fish, fruits and exotic vegetables. The site is very picturesque and colorful. The market is entirely local and small, you can really see the personality of the people here.
