Guinea-Bissau

Guinea-Bissau is not your typical destination. It is a place that is rugged with history and alive with culture. It is a country that will get under your skin and embed itself into your heart and soul.

The mainland is an exotic tapestry of rustic coastal villages and steamy forests. Bissau is the buzzing capital city and home to a charming Portuguese quarter. Follow the scent of fish and spice through the colourful streets and you will find restaurants serving up traditional Portuguese dishes such as bifanas (Portuguese sandwiches) and bacalau.

But when it comes to food in Guinea-Bissau, the spicy oysters (ostras picantes) are legendary. These delicacies are grilled on burning charcoal and dunked into a sauce made from fresh lime, salt, bouillon cube, and chilli pepper. Shucking these tasty morsels down is an early evening ritual before a night out dancing. Quinhamel is a great place to buy grilled oysters on the roadside.

When the sun goes down and your oyster shells are empty, chase the hum of tropical African beats through the streets and discover the soul of Guinea-Bissau. If you visit at the right time of year you might be able to experience the flamboyant Bubaque Festival (around Easter) and Carnaval (Febru-ary or March).
