Sweet Oranges!!


One of our fondest memories of Huaraz on our last trip here was the mandarina man. We would regularily be woken up in our hostel by this unique salesman. While others have signs and some just shout, this guy had a megaphone! His cries of ¨Mandarina, mandarina, mandarina, dos soles por kilo¨ and ¨Naranja dulce¨ could be heard about the town all day. A true entrepreneur!

I bought some mandarinas from him this morning and they sure are sweet. I asked if I could take a video of him and low and behold he was struck dumb until heckled by a passer-by!Watch the video below.
