Victorias Public Market
Description
Market serving Victorias and the sugar mill zone. In Victorias, a northern mill town whose rhythm is set by Victorias Milling Company. 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
The mill isn"t a visitor attraction; the interest is in reading the landscape it organises. The chapel with the Angry Christ mural is the actual stop. Cane trucks make the roads slow during milling season.
Stops

How to get there
On the main highway route through this part of the island; Ceres buses and jeepneys serving the corridor pass through.
Best Times
