| St. Lucia’s public market |

One of the most fascinating in the West Indies, and one of St.Lucia’s favorite people-watching sites. It is held every day of the week except Sunday, and is most active on Friday and Saturday mornings. The market stalls are a couple of blocks from Derek Walcott Square along Peynier Street, running down toward the water.There local vendors peddle a variety of St. Lucia’s luscious seasonal fruits and vegetables – many of which may be new to you; the array of colours alone is astonishing. Sample one of the numerous varieties of bananas: in St. Lucia, they’re allowed to ripen on the tree, and taste completely different from those picked green and sold foreign supermarkets. You can also pick up St. Lucian handicrafts such as baskets and unglazed traditional pottery here.
