The market's strength lies in its fresh produce section, where local growers sell fruits and vegetables throughout the morning. You'll also browse a substantial selection of clothing, textiles, footwear and leather goods across numerous stalls.
Flowers, plants and handmade crafts round out the offering, making this a genuine neighbourhood market rather than a tourist attraction.
