Conakry

Conakry doesn't try to please its guests, and yet, slowly, many are eventually won over by its charms. From the pungent fishing port of Boulbinet and the street kitchens of Coronthie to the containers-turned-shops of Taouyah, this city goes about its business noisily and with ingenuity, proud and unruffled by the visitor's gaze.
