Curacao Floating Market.
At the Floating market one can find a variety of fruits and vegetables, brought in by boats from Venezuela. Fishermen too, are here with their catch.
Considering its small size, contemporary Curaçao has a surprising ethnic and religious diversity. For much of its written history the island was home to just three major groups: the black majority, which was largely Catholic; the small Dutch Protestant aristocracy; and small Sephardic Jewish elite (the first permanent Jewish settlers, a group of seventy Sephardim Jews of Portuguese descent, arrived in 1651 from Holland). With the opening of the Royal Dutch Shell oil refinery (nowadays Isla) immigrants poured in from all over the world, recasting Curaçao as a multi-ethnic, diverse island. Each immigrant group has brought its own customs, food and religious practices, which have intermingled and adapted to local realities, creating a unique culture. The island's first pre-Colombian settlers came from the mainland of South America. The inhabitants of Curaçao have maintained close trading ties with the continent ever since. Since the late 18th century Curaçao's harbor has been a major transshipment centre for goods between Europe and South America. Most groups are well-integrated into society today; Curaçao has a high percentage of inter-ethnic and interracial marriages.
