"Chillies and Liquor" Top 5 Page for this destination Mercado Modelo Tip by Zarasher

This former customs building and slave warehouse burned to the ground in 1984 and was then rebuilt in its original 19th-century style. It houses just about everything Bahia has to offer in terms of arts and crafts and souvenirs.

I didnt have enough room in my suitcase to pick up any local craft but I did pick up a few bottles of this green chilli sauce which was divine... They are large bottles, so last along time too... I even sprinkled some on my plane food.

You also have to try the Liquor da Maracuja (Passion Friut) and the chocolate... just great. I can't walk past my fridge without taking a swig. I fear I am becoming an alcoholic.

Also great are these creamy coconut things they sell at some of the stalls. They also sell them online at:
