Wordless Wednesday: Costa Rican Farmer's Market (La Feria)
Think you know Farmer’s Markets? Check out this enormous market (feria) held every Sunday in Zapote (San Jose), Costa Rica! We are in Costa Rica visiting family and so were able to stop by this past Sunday.

The weather in Costa Rica is very changeable this time of year. This past Sunday it was hot and humid in the morning, so many people used umbrellas for a little shade.

Thank you for linking up with me!! These pics are great, I’m just wishing I could go there every week instead of my tiny Farmer’s Market with only 2 stalls. Costa Rica is one of my dream destinations, thanks for sharing these 😀
Glad to have found your blog! We are lucky enough to live near a great farmer’s market in California, but it is nothing like this one! I just can’t imagine being able to buy great locally grown mangoes, pineapples, etc. every week!
Wow, that is a FABULOUS Farmers’ Market!! 🙂
