The local market in Mérida is a normal Mexican market. With one exception: it was my first real Mexican market. It was the first market where I discovered these cute little fruit and vegetable towers for the first time, where I realised what you can buy at such a market and where I fell in love with Mexican markets. I’m serious. I was lost from the moment I entered this colourful and chaotic thing called market, completely overcrowded with people, food and other things, and wandered through the narrow, winding aisles for the first time, losing my orientation so quickly that I could almost hear it say goodbye to me at the entrance. In short: Mexican markets are colourful, crowded and huge at the same time. And there really is absolutely EVERYTHING. No matter what you want, you’ll find it on a Mexican market. Promised. You can sometimes argue about the quality… but you’ll find it 😀 Simply fascinating this shit 😉 😊 Love it! 😀
A hint: keep an eye on your things/valuables. It’s a market and it will be obvious that you’re foreigners, so just watch out a bit 😉 Apart from that, have fun! 😀 
And yes, you will find household goods, shoes, clothes, animals, food of all kinds, stands to eat on the spot, tortillas, electrical stuff, jewellery…. What else is there? I don’t know, but it will be there. One hundred percent. And if you ask me: you haven’t been to Mexico if you haven’t strolled through one of these markets! And if you really want to experience it, buy something, trade and then eat something 😀
