Castries Central Market

People shop at a street market selling fresh produce.

Head to the north side of the central market, where you'll find fresh produce from the rich countryside, traditional drinks and other items. It's a fine place to get a taste of authentic non-resort St Lucia and try traditional cuisine at bargain prices or just to take a wander among the wonderful smells and Castries characters.
