Markets are always a must to explore when travelling abroad and Mauritius surely has a few to choose from. In fact, the traditional Mauritius markets opened many years ago when the first port was build which allowed locals to buy imported goods arriving by the merchant ships in one place.

The paradise island Mauritius is located in the heart of the Indian Ocean and lies 800 km away from Madagascar’s east coast, about 2,000 kilometres  away from the east coast of Africa and is said to be a part of the African Continent. The island is around 61km long and 46 km wide with a total land area of 1,865 km2. Rodrigues Island and two small dependencies Agalega Island and Cargados Carajos Shoals are also a part of the Mauritian territory but unpopulated. Both Mauritius and Rodrigues Island are a part of the volcanic island chain called the Mascarene Islands.
