The chaos of the Lucas de Galvez market drew me in one last time. It is colorful, noisy, full of good smells and not so good smells. It's an incredible place to people watch and to get good bargains but I wouldn't buy the food; no matter how good it looks and smells.
A coconut stand
The Edam cheese that is used in many Yucatan dishes
And the sweets, oh the sweets! Read more about them here.
Beautiful squares of marshmallows!
These meringues are a favorite of mine. They have a dab of lime filling in the middle.
The oranges are used in cooking and in juices. This stall smelled great!
Lots of spices
Oh how I wish I knew how to make papadzules!
Colorful bags above colorful, fresh produce!
The market is divided into areas, one for produce, one for meat, one for shoes, one for all things made of metal, etc.
These braziers were from about 6 inches across to 18 inches across. If they were easier to pack, I would've bought one!
Juices, religious statuary, phone cases; a hodge podge.
More than one sweet but scrawny kitty roaming about everyone's feet and the many crates and bags. The face on this one is quite pretty!
Just look at those big shiny avocados!
