Large is an understatement: the San Juan de Dios market in Guadalajara is paradise for foodies like myself, where you could get lost for hours exploring a million herb, spice, fruit and veg vendors. The best part? The enormous "food court" on the second floor, with restaurant after restaurant serving the most incredible food (mostly Mexican, but also Chinese, Japanese, you name it!). The market's official official website says:
“Originally created as a meeting place for merchants in 1590. Has 40,000 square meters of floor space. It's a traditional market selling articrafts from Jalisco and other states. Among the goods on offer are shirts, hats of all kinds, shoes of all styles, jewelry, articles of the home, etc."
Oh, and did we mention they sell birds, too?
And sweets for the Dia de los Muertos:
Deliciously ripe fruit-in-a-cup:
And food in all its glory!
Delicious sandwiches (tortas) of pulled pork, mayo, shredded lettuce and tomato.
Carne en su jugo stew, absolutely delicious and fresh.
Faux Gucci e Louis Vuitton for 10 bucks? No problemo!
Toys, shirts, embroidered everything...
