The central market, 'El mercado central'

Located in the center of town north west of the plaza lies the central market.

Here you can purchase produce, meats of all kind, clothes and music, stationary supplies, leather products and much more all in an open air market.

The market also serves another purpose. It represents the economic hub of the community.
