Bocas Town Fruit & Vegetable Stands (Legumbrería José & Frutería Quintero)
9° 20.4′ N · 82° 14.5′ W
Open-fronted produce stalls in the middle of town that sell mainland-grown fruit and vegetables, the fresh half of every Bocas provisioning run.
Practical
Position is the OpenStreetMap node for the Legumbrería José fruit stand on Avenida E. Frutería Quintero is at 9.34135, -82.24035, and other produce stands are at 9.34257, -82.24129 and 9.34264, -82.24136 (OSM). Cruisers recommend the fruit and vegetable stand as one of the essential stops (Savarona 2017; SAIL notes open-air vegetable stalls). Produce comes over on the Almirante ferries, so the morning after a delivery has the best choice.
