What to Find at the Market
Seasonal Fruits and Vegetables
The assortment of fruits and vegetables changes with the seasons, so you can enjoy the freshest picks. Imagine savoring juicy pomegranates, sweet blueberries, and succulent strawberries—each bite is a burst of seasonal flavor that you can only experience when these fruits are at their peak. Besides these delicious fruits, you’ll also find a variety of local staples like eggs, olive oil, olives, and dates.
Shopping Tips
When you’re ready to shop, simply grab a bucket (or ask for one if needed) and fill it with your chosen produce. The vendors will weigh your bucket at the end. Most vegetables are priced by the kilo, but keep in mind that some items, like avocados, might have a different pricing structure—either individually priced or at a fixed rate.
While the prices are set and there’s no room for negotiation, the charm of the market lies in its surprises. You never quite know what you’ll find each week—one day it might be a new variety of fruit, or even fresh chicken!
