Local Market Barrio Abajo

A few kms from the venue for the night was the local market of Barrio Abajo. It was a colorful crowded place with street vendors selling various wares. A lot of them had updated their stock to sell items for the carnival. There were foam sprays, bunting bursts, tshirts, pants, dresses one could buy there, all items one could use during the carnival. It was a place to people watch and shop till you drop. Bargaining was a norm and I learnt to wait and watch how much the locals paid for various things before going in and doing my own bargaining and purchases. I managed to buy a few tshirts for a very cheap price. I was all set for the carnival now.. except maybe a good hat 😎
The local market was spread over 20-30 streets N-S and E-W. Where the market ended was the beautiful San Nicholas church.Lue lisää
