The Flea Market of Herat

Without a doubt one of the most fascinating yet hardest cultures I have come across. I say hard because of the war and for the situation many Afghan women and children undergo, but must continue to live day to day in the hope of progress and improvement for all. One of the ways to survive in Herat are the famous markets where you will find 3-star products in high demand by tourists: Burcas, Lapis stone and carpets. Did you know that alongside$ Chile, Afghanistan is the largest producer of Lapis Lazuli in the world? Yes, and I will tell you also that in Spain this stone is quite expensive and here you can get for a reasonable price.
