Oaxaca day 2

Oaxaca is well known for its gastronomy and markets. There are in total 6 big markets which are the main tourist attraction in the city. From the main square Zócalo city can be divided into north and south part. We went first to the south part where 3 markets can be found: Mercado 20 de Noviembre (food paradise), Mercado de Artesanías (handmade products) and Mercado Benito Juárez (food + shops).

All markets were really nice and had lot of fun exploring the area. We tried typical drink Tejate made of corn and cacao juice, nice smoothies and traditional bbq lunch in Pasillo de Humo (steamy path). It was truly authentic and local experience and all the things including bbq lunch were really delicious and cheap.

After lunch and well required long walk we ended up in Jalatlaco area known for street art and celebration of Dia de Los Muertes. Streets are super beautiful, colorful with the most beautiful paintings 🤩 I felt like in the middle of the Disney Movie Coco 😍. In the evening we went for tasty dinner and drinks.

Oaxaca is truly amazing place and should not be missed in any itinerary.Read more
