Feria, Grecia, Costa Rica

Today we went to the Grecia feria - a weekly farmers’ market that starts on Friday at noon and runs all day on Saturday. It is much larger than the Atenas feria. 

You can find just about anything - all sorts of fruits and vegetables, meats, seafood, clothing, leather goods, fresh flowers, orchids and so on. There are quite a few sodas (small family run eateries). 

We wandered around and ended up buying small sweet bananas, radishes, a papaya, corn on the cob and two bunches of fresh cut flowers. The flowers are incredibly inexpensive. Here is what I bought for 2,000 colones (about $4 USD):


At this price, we can have fresh flowers in our house every week.

As we returned to our vehicle, the largest iquana I have seen up to now was right beside our car:
