A great market on Sundays. All the side streets are full of interesting antiques and art. We love coming here a bit later,1:30p, for a tosta and cerveza at any of the small bars open to the street.

I would eat here every day if I could. They serve Mexican "centritos" which are small plates of various meats, cheese, and sauce to be eaten with small Mexican tortillas. Get the michelada to drink. ** Check for updated locations before going.
