Mercado Municipal is La Laguna’s covered market on Plaza del Cristo, with stalls selling local produce, fish, meat, cheese, spices, flowers and more. Browse for ingredients, pick up coffee beans or local products, or pause at a food stall for breakfast or lunch. Venezuelan stalls serve empanadas, and you can find fresh coffee and sugar cane juice. Go earlier in the day: some stalls close before the market’s posted closing time, and Saturday is a chance to look for ice cream.
