MERCADO GÓMEZ PALACIO

Like any self-respecting Mexican city, Durango has its traditional local market. Here you can stroll through the stalls of flowers, fruits, piñatas, herbs, dark honey, kitchen utensils and crafts. It's also a great place to enjoy typical Mexican cuisine at more than reasonable prices; try the gorditas and caldo durangueño prepared by Señora Rayo on the puesto Las Nachitas. For the Westerners, this is also where you'll find all the necessary accessories.
