Legazpi Market

There are a couple of popular weekend markets in Makati that are well worth visiting, and we do regularly.  They're about the closest thing I've seen in metro Manila to the farmers markets I had become accustomed to in the US.

On Saturdays, its the Salcedo Market, and I included a post about it back in October.  We recently stopped by the Sunday Legazpi market, though, and I thought I'd include some photos of it.

The markets are pretty similar, set up with tents in parking lots in different sections of Makati.  They're not particularly big, but both are packed with vendor stalls and lots of visitors.

While the Salcedo market on Saturdays is much more focused on food, the Sunday Legazpi market includes not only lots of fresh food but also a wide variety of well made handicrafts.  I like going to both markets a lot, but I particularly enjoy browsing the handicraft stalls on Sundays.  The Legazpi market also seems to be a little less crowded and hectic, probably because its on Sunday.  On our most recent visit, there was also some impromptu drumming and music that added to the festive atmosphere.
