Second-hand Market, Lumo
📖 Basse Santa Su's 'Market' (or 'Lumo' in surrounding villages) is a bustling hub for resellers, particularly on its busiest market days. Here, you'll discover a vibrant array of goods, from colorful fabrics and second-hand clothes to artisanal handicrafts and earthenware pottery, which are a star attraction. The market also serves as a crucial transit point for merchandise, including imported goods like bicycles and mobile phones, heading to neighboring countries like Senegal, Mali, and Guinea, offering unique sourcing opportunities. An insider tip for resellers is to explore the smaller craft workshops just off the main street, where local artisans create stools, masks, and custom clothing, providing direct access to unique, handmade items.
