I visited the PDR produce market today, in search of salt. About the same number of stalls as a year ago, but more customers, and a queue at one vegetable stall. About six selling veggies, 2 or 3 with cheeses, one with what looked like honey, one with baked goods and one with eggs.
One stall selling “Sal de Fuerteventura” in a presentation paper bag/sack 110g for 4€. No thanks!
Hopped on the 3 bus to Las Salinas (€1.65). Got off, bought 2 kilos @ €6/kilo (down from €7 last time) and got back the same bus for the return trip.
A friend visited the Corralejo Saturday market at the same time. 4 stalls, herbs, potatoes, veggies and something else I’ve forgotten.
Oh, the PDR market also had a fish stall, fresh, probably local but not well presented and not a huge selection
Nothing said about the Caleta market - any news on that?

To put it into context, this market rarely gets more than one customer at a time and is tiny. Maybe one stallholder, or two at busy times.
I understand the point they are making that it allows local farmers to sell their produce, but so does Padilla and the local mini-mart.
Local farmers are finding ways to reach their customers, including offering home delivery, and one who sells direct from his vehicle!
