Gabu, Guinea-Bissau
Set deep in the heartlands of Guinea-Bissau, the regional kingpin of Gabú hails in as the second-largest urban spot in the country. It’s a place very apart from the capital at Bissau.
For one, the dominant faith here is Islam, while the meek meanders of the dusty Rio Compossa are nothing on the roaring Atlantic rollers out west. The result is a cultural hotspot that that oozes all the charm of a Saharan trading post.
And talking of trading: The market bustles and throbs with chatter and exotic goods brought in from Senegal, Guinea and the Ivory Coast – don’t miss it!
