Travel Tip: The bread man cometh

3 stars
Published on Sep 22, 2008 by LucyHB for Taganga

Not impressed with the sweet, preservative-stuffed bread on offer at the local 'tiendas' in Taganga? Keep an eye (and ear) out for the 'bread man' (as I imaginatively dubbed him) who makes his way around the town each and every afternoon, peddling fresh bread and cakes to the villagers from his hand-pushed cart. You'll know when the bread man is on his way by the sound of a great big stick being whacked against the side of the cart - an aural sign for villagers to grab their purses and rush outside to make their purchases. If you want bread that isn't filled with sugar, ask for 'pan Frances' or 'Pan de Sal', and you'll get warm, fresh rolls that actually taste like bread rather than some feeble form of cake. There's nothing wholemeal on offer, but you can't have everything!
