A vast variety of regional goods, including fresh produce, spices, and handcrafted goods, are on display at the market. It serves as a hub for cross-cultural trade as well, with shops selling apparel, trinkets, and artwork. The lively ambiance and the pop of colour that permeate the market, which is busiest on Saturdays, frequently captivate visitors.
The Port Mathurin Market provides a crucial window into the way of life and diverse cultural fabric of Rodrigues. If you like local and friendly atmosphere, go for a walk in the market. Saturday is market day; not only a day to do his shopping, but also the day the Rodriguans meet to exchange the latest news and gossip. It's a place where you really feel on an island and It's next to the bridge near the post office. It is the best place on the island to shop for fresh products and souvenirs. It is open the rest of the week but really gears up on Saturday, when much of the island turns out.
