Good market place but go early on the morning as they typically start closing around afternoon, good fish market with local catch. Some stands with local products including cachaca. Worth visit at your convenience, you will find what you was looking for at good price.

There is a large variety of produce for sale at a somewhat accessible price. The infrastructure does not seem to be good, though. The smell of fish at some points is unbearable (for those who dislike it), and the organisation of the place could improved.

This place is amazing. You can find good handcrafting, spice and good seafood. There is also good northeast typical food.
