Mexican markets are a channel into the country’s past, present, and future. Outdoor markets, or tianguis, and grand public institutions designed and built by some of the country’s great architects are essential to understanding the diversity of Mexican traditions. Locals go to different markets for different needs, often on a weekly basis, if not more. Busy, loud, colorful, jump into and let the movement of these great institutions pull you along. Also, don’t forget to bring cash.
