Huge Market In Rio De Janeiro....Anybody visited?

Recommended Posts

CADEG (Centro de Abastecimento do Estado de Guanabara, or the Supply Center of Guanabara State, as Rio de Janeiro used to be called).

The market is open 24 hours. Early mornings on Thursday and Saturday are the top time for flower shopping. Saturday afternoon is Cantinho das Consertinas’s Festa Portuguesa, with up to 1,000 attendees queuing for a host of salt cod dishes on the second floor. Even at 2 a.m. on a weekend, partygoers will stumble in for a nightcap of beef and fries. Expect some crowds; Lobo says CADEG averages 10,000 people a day.

Ill have pics to post of this place in July

I've been there more times than you can count.

The big problem is that Benfica is not the nicest or safest of bairros. Within spitting distance of Sao Januario, the home stadium for Vasco football club here. One of my friends here was the national champion in the butterfly for Brasil and came up in their swimming program.

The fruit, vegetable, foodstuffs, plant and flower vendors close between 9AM and Noon pretty much. Then it turns into a yuppie dining place. The 472 and 474 buses stop within a block of the front doors. The Triagem metro stop is about a three block walk. This walk is definitely not for the first-time visitor to Rio de Janeiro, except for the adventure tourist.
