The Conejeros Market is a local market located on the north-western outskirts of Porlamar. It is a huge market consisting of three different buildings: one selling local produce, one containing restaurants, and one containing hundreds upon hundreds of vendors selling different types of goods.
The clothing/goods market is frequently very busy and is filled to the brim with many locals selling everything from clothing, shoes, sunglasses and jewelery to art, souvenirs and hammocks. Prices seemed to be quite reasonable although bargaining certainly didn’t seen to be as popular as it was in Peru. Our one complaint was that most to the stalls seemed to be selling the exact same things. Although we found the occasional gem of original local hand painted art, most stores were close to identical. There is an abundance of cheap (albeit quite good) imitations of every brand imaginable (Channel, Guchi, Oscar de la Renta, Lacoste, Louis Vatton etc). The vendors that we came across were all very friendly an helpful, and although most did not speak any English a few surprised us.
