The Market, El Mercado

Click here for Wikimapia please.

Watermelons and Canteloupes

An all this for ONLY A FRACTION of what you will pay in other places!!, It is your vacation, make the best out of it!!! The Mercado might represent what you call a cultural shock for many people. It has a lot of foul odors but once you get past that it’s very interesting. I go there in the mornings to get my fresh fish and shrimp for dinner that evening. Try it, you’ll like it.

Yes! that is a pork head!!

This market is very different from the flea market — the sales persons are not pushy, and the goods are fruit, spices, home baked goods, some crafts, and pottery. After visiting it, I think we saw the real people of Acapulco. It’s not a market for silver and other tourist type items, but great to buy fresh foods other lovely items.

Great onions!

The Mercado Municipal Is really an eye-opener! You can rest assured that you had never been in a real, large, Mexican market like this before, it is fascinating. There is so much to see—dry goods, house wares, gorgeous flowers, candy, live roosters, fresh produce.

Of all the places visited on your trip to Acapulco, you will be most glad to have seen the Mercado. It is totally unlike anything you would have ever seen before! Trip Advisor

Many stalls featured health care products, which were a combination of herbal remedies and Santeria-type spells and prayers to saints. One of these stalls had a cage full of large live bugs, whose purpose you would prefer not to ask about!
