Mercado del Campesino

Mercado del Campesino

Progresso
  • Market

The Mercado del Campesino is the city's farmers' market and a good slice of local life. Between the old city and Parque Papagayo but farther up the hill past Avenida Cuahutémoc, it is bustling with food purveyors but also has a lot of local handicrafts, particularly ceramics and woven goods. If you get peckish, try the chiapa bread from a nearby town of the same name.
