Sur
Thrift Stores in Ponce
Ponce is the south coast anchor: a real city with real secondhand supply and almost none of the tourist markup you find in San Juan. Prices are low, the racks are less picked over, and weekend pulgueros fill in the gaps between storefronts.
HALLA is still building out the south. The listings below are what we have verified so far — if you know a Ponce store that belongs here, send it to us.

What Ponce is good for
Everyday secondhand at honest prices: denim, tees, kids' clothing, home goods and furniture. Less curation, better value per dollar.
When to go
Saturday mornings, when pulgueros and weekend sellers are set up alongside the regular storefronts. Many shops close Sundays.
Worth the drive?
From San Juan it is roughly 90 minutes on the PR-52. Make it a day: pair it with the historic center rather than treating it as a single-store trip.
