"A bustling, recently renovated open-air market in the island’s capital that showcases the island’s abundance; founded in 1891, it remains an exuberant hub for local produce and goods. Stalls overflow with coconuts, mangos, avocados, bananas, fresh herbs, packaged spices, cinnamon bark for spiced rum, homemade pepper sauces, woven home goods, and tropical specialties like sugar apples and guineps, while nearby fishers sell marlin, tuna, barracuda, mahi mahi, wahoo, kingfish, snappers, and needlefish. The market’s lively, communal atmosphere and variety of ingredients formed the foundation for several days of island cooking and learning; it typically opens by about 7:30 a.m. (seasonal hours may vary)." - Von Diaz
"A bustling market open Monday through Saturday in the island’s northwestern region where visitors can sample the local morning staple, cocoa tea—a thick, velvety beverage made by grating cocoa sticks and simmering them with cinnamon, bay leaf, nutmeg, vanilla, and sugar—alongside other local goods." - Lauren Breedlove
