The handicraft market of the entire state of Oaxaca. There are some parts that you will not find in other markets in the city: a real Ali Baba cave for fanatiques and compulsive buyers.

This is the mercado of Oaxaca. It offers everything: fruits and vegetables, the usual meat stalls, local delicacies such as cheeses and mole sauce, but also shoes, tools and clothing (hats and beautiful leather belts). There is also a great selection of local souvenirs and gifts. The market is certainly touristy but it is also frequented by locals. Saturday is the day when the crowd is the most impressive. Not bad for a tour of the local culture.

The cities and villages around Oaxaca offering their markets six days a week, Saturday can be dedicated to the central De. The craft industry, especially the one who likes tourists, is always equal to itself. This huge market offers impressive amounts of food and clothing.

It is here that you get the mezcal to the scorpion! But also the gastronomic products of Oaxaca such as the Mole Negro, Rojo y Coloradito, the famous quesillo (cheese), and the traditional chapulines (little grasshoppers).

Everything about mezcal: from the plant to the happy tasting!

This is a great initiative: here, they don't pretend to make bread in the French way, but they adapt with local products. And the result goes beyond the borders of the state: the pan de platano (banana bread) has been simply exquisite since the 70s. The rest of the food is just as tempting, from the hearty muffins to the cookies to the plain bread. Everything is homemade, and hopefully the bread will be fresh out of the oven as you pass by. A great stop for a good breakfast or to refuel. Bravo!

Here, we know how to deal with Creole varieties. Two qualities of coffee are prepared here: the "normal" and the "gourmet". For the latter, the maestro first selects a few plants, then a few branches, then a few twigs from which he extracts the best beans... Thus, out of the 6 kilos produced by each selected plant, only 500 grams are reserved for this special vintage. A beautiful espresso machine, the only sign of contemporaneity, prepares a delicious little black coffee to be sipped in this little wooden hut overlooking the mountain.

Mezonte is fully committed to preserving and disseminating the culture of traditional agave distillates. The team welcomes you to the tasting room, a space dedicated to sharing where you can immerse yourself in the richness of Mexico's biocultural heritage. Through a variety of educational materials, you'll have the opportunity to explore the mysteries of these emblematic beverages. By supporting these projects rooted in ancestral methods, you'll be helping to encourage more responsible consumption.

A beautiful shop selling traditional local sweets, heir to the Palacio company, founded in 1840. Everything here is reminiscent of the porfiriato, the era that straddled the 19th and 20th centuries. You can visit a small museum of 5 rooms that traces the history of the manufacture of traditional sweets of the country and the region, from pre-Hispanic times to the present day: ates (fruit jellies) of membrillo (quince), guava, tejocote (hawthorn of Mexico)...
