Mainly living off from tourism, street shopping and fishing, locals are so easy and nice to talk to !

Most of the Martinique population is made by martinicans – Blacks and mulattos, descendants of the slaves delivered from Africa, and also natives of the Southern India, Chinese and Italians. Martinique locals are very hospitable and cordial persons, they welcome the guests of the island with pleasure, here each day is a holiday.

The main sources of the income here, which feed many families of the island, certainly is a fishing and production of the boats that isn’t surprising at all, taking in attention that fact that Martinique is surrounded from all sides by water

The second important source of the income is surely tourism. The people from all around the world comes here to enjoy paradisiacal landscapes, to relax on the beach, sing, to fish, to surf, to drink shake, to scooter etc.

Martinique is an island of the treasures for all kinds of the tourists. If you are an inveterate fisherman or just a beginner – the local pro fishermen will keep with great pleasure your company.

And as fish makes a basis of a food and cooking of locals, with great pleasure they can cook for you that you could catch…

Or you can go at the market and to find there again the fresh fish (yes, fish is everywhere here)…

or some souvenirs …

or fruits and shakes

but everywhere, wherever  you decided to go here – the main thing which you will meet  is a friendliness and sincere frank smiles of the islanders …

It seems that here live the happiest people in the world! They love what they are doing in their lives…

But what took my attention – like a contrasting thing with smiling adults , many local children were very serious …

maybe, because they were schoolboys? unsure of cameras ? baby kids playing came across obviously happier :)))

How do they say ? “Not the place adornes the person, but the person adornes the place where he/she is”… Martinique is ideal from this point of view 🙂
Here everything is in harmony – beautiful happy people in combination with awesome landscapes and nature. Real paradise! Come here!

There is a big Rum production. One of the excellent distilleries is the NEISSON
