Sofronio Española Public Market
About
Found on Palawan, Sofronio Española Public Market sits in Pulot Center, Sofronio Espanola, on the southern stretch of the island. The market draws a steady local trade, reflected in a 4.3 out of 5 average across 53 reviews. Reaching it from the main resorts is a long haul: Puerto Princesa lies to the north-east, while El Nido, Coron, Port Barton, San Vicente and Sabang sit further afield, so most visitors arrive by road. A marketplace of this kind is where produce, fish and household goods change hands. On an island where jeepneys converted from US military vehicles serve as shared public transport, getting to Pulot Center is possible without a private car. The venue opens daily, and the 53 reviews give a fair sample of how shoppers judge it. The Philippines has a wet season from roughly June to November and a drier season from December to May, so the drier months suit a market trip. Tagalog forms the base of Filipino, while Cebuano, Ilocano and Hiligaynon are widely spoken, which helps when asking for directions. The market's 4.3 rating places it among the better-reviewed stops in the area. For anyone heading south from Puerto Princesa, Sofronio Española Public Market is a practical halt.
