When you visit the locals markets you get a true taste of the lifestlye, culture and the opportunity to take in the sights, sounds and smells of the place you are visiting. No matter where I visit, the local market is always one of the first places I visit, and I am intrigued everytime. And you are exactly right, support the locals, and forget the big corportate supermarkets. Great comment @mu001bu. Im upvoting your comment.
