Exploring the bustling market and indulging in fresh seafood with friends was an unforgettable experience. We marveled at the vibrant colors of the stalls and chatted with local vendors, who eagerly shared stories about their artisanal products. A highlight was trying our hand at making traditional dishes, which gave us a deeper appreciation for the culinary culture. One minor drawback was that the pace felt a bit rushed at times, making it hard to savor every moment. Still, the flavors we encountered and the friendliness of everyone we met made it a memorable outing that we’ll cherish.
