Though not the classic flea market, the Friday Mapusa market is a vibrant and bustling market with an abundance of antiques and Goan pottery to handicrafts, textiles, clothing, spices, fruits, vegetables, meats, and jewellery. While on most days the market is a regular market frequented by locals, on Fridays, vendors from many nearby districts throng the market to sell the produce directly to the consumers. It is a great place to find fresh local food products like pickles, dried fish, Goan chorizo and spiced and marinated pork sausages. It's also a great place to look for bargains on hand-woven kunbi sarees, towels, pottery, antique items and wooden furniture. Find yourself eyeing the lovely ashtrays and candle stands in hotels? This is where you can find them.
