WILLEMSTAD, Curaçao — The famed Plasa Bieu (Old Market) is closed for an extensive renovation.
The plaza, one of the best places on the island to sample local fare such as goat stew, closed in March. The Curaçao Chronicle reports the rehab project could take six months.
The market has moved to the new market (Nobo) next door. Diners can find local fare on the upper level of the market.
Sightseers’ Delight started publishing in June 2016. The site, published by The DeFeo Groupe, collects and curates content about places where historical events large and small happened. The site builds off the legacy of The Travel Trolley, which launched in June 2009. The site aimed to be a virtual version of the trolley tours offered in so many cities.
One might not expect to find a large Jewish population in the middle of a Caribbean paradise. But Curacao is home to the Mikvé Israel-Emanuel Synagogue, the “oldest synagogue building in continuous use in the Western Hemisphere.”
