Toubab Dialaw is a tiny artist's village 50km south of Dakar and a perfect solo creative retreat — the Sorano arts centre is a remarkable community, the beach is clean and quiet, and the pace is completely different from the city. Artists, musicians, and slow travelers gravitate here. Très en dehors des sentiers battus.
