Just a tip, ask a Filipino friend to buy the seafood... More

There are two D' Talipapa markets in Borácay. One claims to be the original but, to tell you the truth, it's not worth it. The other one (red signs) is really great. I'm not talking about shopping but eating! Go to the wet market, choose any of the fresh products they sell: giant prawns and lobsters, fishes, clams, squids, scallops,... More

Go there. Prices are a lot lower than in the shops on "The path". Great variety of shops, from food, cigarettes, alcohol to computerstuff, and sarongs, bags and the like. More

This market was not outstanding - just average. It was not as crowded as I had thought it might be. The weather was hot although surprisingly not overly humid, and so I completed my purchases of fruit with no trouble. Prices were cheap, as one might expect. There is easy access from Boracay's famed White beach and its beachside path. More
