Senegal is above all people
Here in the Serer country, the tradition of hospitality is not an empty word… Smiles, laughter, rhythms, parties, colors, a profusion of life and vitality that they enjoy sharing.

Fruits and vegetables, fabrics and jewellery, cattle and charms… this large weekly market will immerse you in an authentic and colorful Africa. You can continue your walk to Joal Fadiouth.
