Street scene, lady with basket


If this picture had sound with it, you could hear the woman carrying the basket on her head shouting..."FruTAS! PaPAYA! ManGO! PiNA! CoCO!" These women could be seen throughout the city selling a variety ot things from their large baskets. Most were selling fruit, but some sold empanades or other snack foods. There were also lots of ice cream sellers around who sold their wares from little push carts with ringing bells. On the main square, there were women making the Granada "typical" food called "vigaron." It's made from mashed yucca, cabbage, and pork rinds. It's served on a banana leaf. We chose not to try this because we both agreed that pork rinds do not sound so appetizing. Perhaps it was a mistake to pass up this typical food...but, oh well, maybe next time.
