Gourmet products local specialties and wines Nusa Tenggara

Gunung Sari, a large traditional market; Nyiur Baya, interesting village for its vanneries, Rungkang/Sayang-Sayang and its craft, Banyamulek and pottery, Loyok and the bamboo work…

To find it, just head east along the coast. The women of Lamalera go to market with their baskets, buckets or bundles of dried fish or skate cutlets on their heads.

They meet up with women from the Puor and Boto mountains, loaded down with fruit and vegetables. There's no money involved, just barter between mountain people and sailors.

Some men weigh the rice, others crouch around preparing tuak, the fermenting palm alcohol. Other products sold include soaps, matches and school exercise books.
