Qué comprar en Maldivas
shopping@shoppingInDescription
Malé tiene una gran actividad comercial. La calle principal para realizar compras es Majeedhee Magu, plagada de tiendas de ropa, cosméticos, accesorios, electrónica y tiendas de comestibles. Para adquirir souvenirs las mejores calles son Orchid Magu y Chaandhanee Magu, próximas a la Plaza la República y el Bazar Singapur, centro de mayor venta artesanal.
Los lugares más apropiados para vivir el día a día de la sociedad maldiva son los mercados locales, donde podemos disfrutar de productos de alimentación autóctonos como pescado fresco, frutas y verduras a muy buen precio.
Los habitantes de Maldivas son grandes expertos y habilidosos en las artesanías. Lamentablemente la producción ha disminuido debido a que cada vez entran más productos de los países vecinos como India, Sri Lanka o Bali. Cada año se celebra una Feria Artesanal de dos semanas de duración cuyas fechas varían de un año a otro.
Cane Mats & Carpets
Cane mats and carpets are woven throughout the country by spinning the fibres by hand. Depending on the design and the chosen material you can find varieties such as roanu, saanthi and kunaa, the latter of which is coloured and stamped with fine geometric motifs. Traditionally, these are made by the women of Gaaf Dhal in the south of the Huradhoo Atoll.
Coconut and wooden crafts
It is a tradition in the Maldives to craft decorative items from endemic trees and coconuts. If you go shopping in the Maldives you'll find wooden sculptures and lacquered boxes called ladjehun, which are decorated with floral motifs and bright colours. The most famous are manufactured in Thulhaadhoo in the Baa Atoll. Decorative articles and utensils made with coconut shells are also very common.
Precious Metal & Shell Jewellery
If you go shopping in the Maldives you'll find a great variety of gold, silver, marine shell and coral jewellery. Shell and coral necklaces are the most typical variety and are traditionally made on the islands of Dhaalu Atoll. Although, be wary when buying coral jewellery as those made of black coral are prohibited, due to its rarity and the impact it has on the environment.
