Guihulngan Public Market
Description
Market serving Guihulngan on the north east coast. In Guihulngan, a northeast coastal city midway up the Oriental side. Public markets here run hardest before 8am, when the night’s catch is in and upland produce has just come down; by late morning it’s mostly dry goods and leftovers. Prices are negotiable in the wet and dry sections. Worth a stop for muscovado, tablea and native sweets at market rather than shop prices — bring small notes and your own bag.
Tips
A genuine working city with no tourist infrastructure — expect local prices and no English menus. The best break point on the long east-coast drive between Dumaguete and San Carlos.

How to get there
East-coast highway, roughly 3 hours north of Dumaguete or 2-3 hours south of San Carlos by Ceres bus.
Best Times
