Mapusa Municipal Market

[1] The market has three blocks with 164 shops, some of which have been sub-divided, so bringing the total to 173.

[2] It is open every day, except Sunday; and is particularly popular on Friday mornings.

[3] Goan vendors come in from the surrounding villages to sell their locally grown or manufactured wares,[4] such as spices, fruits, jewellery, pottery, chickens, incense and carpets.

[5] Many of the stalls in the bazaar are grouped by type of goods, with special areas for straw hats, Goan home-made chouriço and the like.

Strings of Goan chouriço, spiced and marinated pork sausages, seedless tamarind, or amot are also traded.
