Central Market — Attraction in Municipio Sucre

What a beautiful, lively market place. You can find anything from good fresh fruits, vegetables, bread, cakes, cookies, meat, eggs and cheese to clothes and hygiene and house cleaning products. Prices are good, but make sure to query around a few stalls to get the best deal. There is not a lot of margin to bargain, but asking with a smile never hurts.

Outside there are some stalls with juices and drinks but again, they are the same :)

One star less for being cheated when buying fruits and being given a gringo price even though we knew it was way too much. But the seller of course did not want to...

You can find everything! But I’m giving 5 stars for fruits and veggies. The variety is vast, ladies are very nice, they offer you to try a banana or some other fruit before you buy more. I found some fruits I never knew existed (like avocado that looks like cucumber). And you can always negotiate! For food, they do have food court upstairs but there are a lot of vendors just outside on the streets with very delicious and inexpensive food as well. However, just for the sake of experience, try it at least once or just go...
