Coron Public Market — Attraction in Coron

The market is one you’d expect from a far flung island destination. You see fishermen bringing their catch at about 7 AM and they come and go.

Just show a photo of sauteed or fried in case of communication probs….. we had to buy fresh fish and tons of veggies because we’re traveling with the old folks .
