    The shop is also the "factory" of Alberto. A small factory, but great products, mainly in Tagua (this white vegetal ivory), or also in colourful grains... You may ask him whatever you want to be built in Tagua, he will do it for you !

    Cette petite boutique est aussi l'"usine" d'Alberto. Une petite usine, certes, mais avec un gros debit de produits de Tagua, ce fruit blanc dur comme de l'ivoire, ou des colliers a base de graines multicolores... Vous pouvez aussi lui demander de vous confectionner vos fantaisies, il se fera un plaisir de le faire !

    What To Buy: Tagua products !

    Des trucs en tagua !!

    What To Pay: Between 0.5 and 12 USD.

    Entre 0.5 et 12 USD.

    Any shop you might find in Montecristi (except bakeries, maybe...) sells Panama hats !

    Dans n'importe quelle boutique (sauf les boulangeries, peut-etre), vous pourrez trouver des Panamas en vente.

    What To Buy: The Panama Hat !

    Un Panama !

    What To Pay: About 100 USD for a regular one, but bargain for a better price !

    En gros 100 USD pour un panama moyen, mais vous pouvez toujours marchander...

    Alonzo cooks, Maria sells. They are both crazy, Alonzo always kidding you, with his tiny voice, and Maria always smiling and asking you "Que mas ?" (what more ?) each time you pick up something to buy... The store is a mess, the restaurant is a mess also, but they have all you may want to eat quickly (or to prepare the best typical meal in your own kitchen)... And they're so kind !!

    Alonzo cuisine, Maria vend. Ils sont tous les deux un peu fous, entre Alonzo qui vous fait des blagues, avec sa toute petite voix, et Maria qui vous sourit toujours en vous demandant "Que mas ?" (quoi d'autre ?) a chaque fois que vous prenez quelque chose a acheter... La boutique est en bordel, le resto aussi, mais ils ont tout le necessaire pour manger rapidement ou pour vous preparer le plus typique des plats equatoriens dans votre propre cuisine.. Et ils sont tellement gentils !

    What To Buy: Chicken on the barbecue (a fan evacuates the smoke), vegetables, yoghurts, bread (so gooood !), french fries, rice, drinks... Whatever you want !!

    Poulet au barbecue (un ventilo se charge d'evacuer la fumee), legumes, yaourts, pain (il est troooop bon !), frites, riz, boissons...
    Ce que vous voulez !

    What To Pay: It's cheap !!

    C'est pas cher !!
