Dalaba
A cool mountain town at about 1,200 meters above sea level, a colonial-era summer retreat with pine forests, old villas, and highland scenery.
Because of its cool climate, Dalaba was developed by the French during the colonial era as a retreat for recuperation and summer stays. The town has pine forests, old villas, and gardens. South African singer Miriam Makeba also lived here during her exile in Guinea. Main sights include the finely carved Case à Palabres meeting hall, the Jardins Auguste Chevalier botanical garden, the Pont du Dieu stone bridge, and nearby pine forest trails, and the Market Street is lively. It is about 110 kilometers from Labé and 280 kilometers from the capital, Conakry, making it a good place to spend a night or two while making a round trip to the Diting Falls.
