At the Ver O Peso market and port, there is so much for a tourist to buy . The display of fruits, vegetables, plants, animals and fish, not to mention the people, is fascinating. The most intriguing section is filled with medicinal herbs and roots, dead snakes and amulets for every possible occasion.
