Plaza Tecnopolis is a market where you can find absolutely everything that has anything to do with technology. So mobile phones, cables, cameras, memory cards, headphones, stereo systems, speakers…. The only thing I didn’t see were bigger things like fridges or televisions, but I wouldn’t put my hand in the fire that they don’t have that. Because Mexican markets always have everything. Really.

I don’t know if you can tell – I though suspect you can 😀 – that I find Mexican markets absolutely fascinating. Honestly. We just don’t have anything like that in Europe. You go to a market and there’s simply EVERYTHING you could ever need, look for or find. And in a price range from cheap af to (from a local perspective) overpriced (although this probably only affects tourists, who are often tried to get higher prices from 😉). And of course from cheap stuff and basically trash to really good quality.

To be honest, I’m always a bit cautious when it comes to technology. With the Plaza Tecnolplis, for example, I wouldn’t necessarily spend anything or particularly much on an SD card. Or headphones. Not to mention a camera or something. Nevertheless, it’s a fascinating place because you can really get everything. I remember I bought an affordable SD card and headphones on chance. Both worked. The headphones didn’t last forever and the SD card was used more as a replacement, but they both did their job. My tip: try them out on site. This is not a guarantee, but among the jumble of headphones there, I also did find some that were already broken so it’s worth a try. You can rule out a total fail before you buy. And in my case, I was actually there precisely because of these two things. So I thought “Let’s just give it a try” 😀

Go or not go? I… yes tbh. As I said, I found the Plaza Tecnopolis very interesting and extremely fascinating. There are a thousand aisles, it’s busy everywhere, the shops over and undercut each other in terms of prices and it’s all chaos, but at the same time it’s somehow organised. You either get on with it or you don’t, but I think it’s worth making the effort to simply get to know this completely different system. 😊
