Description of this activity

Discover Saly in a different way with a day combining a hands-on workshop, market visit, introduction to Senegalese cuisine, and a stroll through the village. This immersive excursion plunges you into the local atmosphere, between flavors, encounters, craftsmanship, and typical life scenes of the Petite Côte. Accessible to everyone, it is an ideal experience for understanding the daily life of residents beyond the beaches and tourist areas.

The day begins with a visit to the Saly market, a lively place where tropical fruits, vegetables, fish, spices, colorful fabrics, and everyday products come together. This immersion helps you understand local shopping practices, recognize the essential ingredients of Senegalese cuisine, and experience the animated morning atmosphere of the Petite Côte.

The excursion continues with a hands-on workshop, which varies depending on the period: preparing ingredients, discovering an artisanal technique, learning a local skill, or handling products from the market. This participatory moment is designed to allow everyone to get involved and better understand Senegalese traditions.

After the workshop, it’s time for local cuisine. Participants prepare a typical Senegalese dish: thiebou dieune, yassa, mafé, or other specialties depending on the market arrivals. This part of the day is a true culinary journey, where one learns the basics of traditional recipes: selecting ingredients, cutting, seasoning, cooking, and balancing flavors…

The meal is then enjoyed in a friendly atmosphere, offering a moment of sharing and relaxation.

The afternoon is dedicated to a walk through the village of Saly, among quiet streets, family homes, small workshops, shops, fishing areas, or beaches depending on the itinerary. This stroll allows you to observe village life, understand local organization, and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of the Petite Côte.

The day is accessible to all levels and combines workshops, light walking, and moments of rest. Comfortable clothing is recommended.
