English: Wharfside Flea Market in Aruba (2013), located on the waterfront of downtown Oranjestad (L.G. Smith Boulevard) near the portdocks and obliquely opposite the Royal Plaza Mall. This flea market used to be Aruba's first public market. Years ago, before the big supermarkets started to pop up everywhere, farmers and fishermen brought their fresh fruits, vegetables and fish here, at these open-air kiosks along the harbor, for locals to barter and buy. The "Waf" (wharf) was desolated for a while, but one day it picked up its trading habits and resuscitated as a flea market, bringing tourists closer to the island's culture and traditions.
