 Fadiouth is reknown for the seashells in its walls, buildings, pathways

 Fadiouth, a Christian village on an island, is linked to Joal, a Muslim village on the mainland, 
by several bridges near these beautiful mangroves

The first glimpse of Fadiouth, from the one of the bridges [Note the mother and her piglets; 
Pigs are only seen when you happened upon a Christian village as Senegal is 96% Muslim]
