Plaza del Mercado José del Carmen Alemañy

4.2(574 reviews)

About

Plaza del Mercado José del Carmen Alemañy serves Puerto Rico as a farmers or artisan market, and traders set up with fruit, vegetables and other fresh produce for shoppers filling a bag. The market occupies Calle Doctor Santiago Veve in San Germán, 00683.

With 574 reviews behind it, the market carries a weight of local custom that few stalls elsewhere on the island can match. San Germán sits in the island's south-western interior, away from the coastal strip, and the market draws shoppers from the surrounding barrios rather than only from the town centre.

Stalls lean towards produce and everyday goods rather than prepared dishes, so a visit fits into a shopping round rather than a meal out. The Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/CiudadDeSanGerman carries updates for anyone following the market's activity.

Minibuses and shared taxis are common public transport on Caribbean islands, often leaving only when full, so allow extra time when travelling to San Germán. Caribbean islands are mostly volcanic or limestone in origin, with coral reefs growing off many coasts. Carnival parades are held across the Caribbean, some before Lent and others in the summer months. Ponce lies within reach for anyone touring the southern part of Puerto Rico.
