The first time I came here the old centre was crowded with craftsmen. Now much of it is more like a large market place. Many of the goods will be imported from countries with even cheaper labour, and the hand-labourers have largely moved to the edge of town, where the rents are lower.

In the centre is a nice square that has the atmosphere I wished had lingered some more. This is the corridor leadint ot it, a nice bar to the left. Soft drinks and tea, no alcohol.
