EB Magalona Public Market
Description
Small market in the north sugar belt. In EB Magalona, a small sugar-belt town on the northern coastal road. 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 stop on the northern corridor drive rather than a destination — the landscape it sits in is the interest, not the market. Ten minutes is enough.
Stops
Northern Sugar & Seafood Corridor
How to get there
Northern coastal road between Silay and Victorias; any northbound Ceres bus passes through.
Best Times
Early morning — markets, landings and roadside stalls all run hardest before 8am.
