Since there’s no building going on at the moment,  I thought I’ll use the time and space to recommend some of my favorite places. Like Tanjeh. On the road from the airport to Tintinto, driving to the south, you’ll cross this fisherman’s

village. Around 3, 4h. in the afternoon the boats come in and the village becomes very lively.  The village is hard to miss, because of the particular smell of the fish smoking that it’s also famous for.

 Smells like business! It has a fish and vegetable market, a gas station, and quite a variety of little shops and restaurants.

You’ll see refrigerated trucks loading fresh freight to provide the rest of the country with fish.

Gambian meals often have fish as an important ingredient, which you won’t get any fresher than here. And, of course, on all those other fish markets in the Gambia, like Ghana Town and Bakau, another big one.
