FAMOUS MARKETS

A Castries Market, on the tropical island of St Lucia, is one of the most colourful markets in the world. It is located in an orange-roofed building, which is home to more than 300 vendors(продавці), selling fresh produce. However, this market doesn’t end there. On the streets beyond, stalls (прилавки)stocked with tropical fruits and flowers spill out under rainbow-coloured umbrellas.

B La Boqueria in Barcelona, Spain, is one of the biggest and oldest indoor markets in Europe. La Boqueria has been operating at the same location as far back as 1217 and attracts crowds of locals and curious tourists every day. It is famous for the many varieties of fresh fish and seafood on sale.

C Maeklong Market is in tropical Thailand. At the market you can find many mouth-watering local Thai ingredients such as lime, chilli and ginger. However, the Maeklong market has one special feature that truly sets it apart - it also has a train passing through it! Eight times a day, a siren is heard, and stallholders clear everything off the track. Once the train passes, they move back and continue selling!
