La Carlota Public Market

Description

Market in the sugar mill town of La Carlota. In La Carlota, an inland mill town at the foot of Kanlaon. 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 mill town rather than a market town — the interest is the sugar landscape and the Kanlaon western trailheads beyond it, not the town centre itself.
Stops
Northern Sugar & Seafood Corridor
How to get there
Inland from the southern highway, roughly an hour from Bacolod.
Best Times
Early morning — markets, landings and roadside stalls all run hardest before 8am.
