It is fussy and chaotic and sellers are ongoing. Try to visit Sandanga early in the morning. It is less crowded at that time of day and fruits and vegetables are fresh and look attractive.

This is probably one of the most important measures to support the contemporary art in Senegal and an important contribution to the Dakar art scene.
