Fimela - Travel & Tourism Guide Fimela - Sénégal

Fimela is the capital of the region and has a gas station. If you have a mechanical problem, this is also the place to go. It turns out that on some maps, the village is spelled Fumela with a "u" or Fimela. In fact, it was Senghor who pointed out that the letter "u" did not exist in the Serer language, and who changed the spelling. Deformation of the Serer word Pimbala, which means promontory, Fimela is located in the curve of the river, offering beautiful steep banks. To the right of the mosque, enjoy the superb view of the bolong. Swimming is not recommended: invisible whirlpools leave no chance to the bather!
