The Analakely valley at the base of the ridge was the site of a Friday market established in the 18th century that, until being discontinued in 1997 because of traffic congestion, was considered the largest open air market in the world.
O val de Analakely na base da crista foi a sede dun mercado dos venres establecido no século XVIII que, ata a súa interrupción en 1997 debido á conxestión de tráfico, era considerado o maior mercado ao aire libre do mundo.
