So, you want to buy locally hand woven baskets, find the fruits that are in season, and learn how to fold betel nut and lime for chewing... This you can't find in any museum. Let us take you to Bacolod City's CENTRAL MARKET where you get to experience local life firsthand.
This busy market is a kaleidoscope of color, sound, taste and smell. Get to see local herbalists in action, find out what is the catch of the day, talk to the vendors selling sun dried tobacco, inspect the different farm implements used in harvesting sugar cane and rice, buy local hand woven baskets and hats. This tour is about as interactive as you can get, as local as you can go.

We consider the Central Market as the museum of life. It is a collection of exhibits of day to day living. Unlike regular museums where you aren't allowed to touch anything, at this Central Market, we encourage you to use all of your senses:
Touch - Take a handful of seeds and feel their texture. Touch the cloths and woven baskets for sale.
See - See the different catch of the day, colors of beads, smiles of the Ilonggo people.
Smell - Take a whiff of fresh ground coffee or a ripe mango in season
Hear - Listen to the busy chatter of conversation and laughter of the vendors and hawkers
Taste - Try the native delicacies and fruits sold in baskets all over the market.
