As well as being home to a population of around eight thousand, including Garifuna,
Maya, East Indians, Creoles and some Lebanese and Chinese, PG is the business centre
for nearby villages and farming settlements, with Saturday as its busiest market day.
Whichever day you visit, you'll almost certainly be approached by polite Maya women
and girls, imploring you to buy the small and undeniably attractive
decorative baskets
they make from a local vine.
