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.

The handicraft market is held around the temple and former convent of Santo Domingo. There are dozens of stalls, each more colourful than the last: textiles, leather bags, traditional wooden toys. The qualities are variable, so take the time to look around; besides, it's a real pleasure for the eyes. You will find traditional pieces as well as pieces adapted to western fashion: blouses, skirts, trousers, sweaters, hats, purses, etc.

However, it's the ballet of flavors that we succumb to most: the churros, coated in chocolate, condensed milk, cinnamon or Nutella, are purely delectable.

La Bohème is an artisanal bakery-pastry shop founded by three Frenchmen in 2014. You can come here to buy your bread or fill up on French-style pastries: croissants, pains au chocolat, chocolate twists, cannelés, palmiers, madeleines or even cronuts.

The place is also a café, where you can sit down to drink your espresso or eat breakfast, a sandwich or a salad.

The hotel offers natural snacks, for the meal that we are experiencing between meal hours: fruit juice, salads, fruit salad, and some gourmet sandwiches.
