It's a one time experience!
You get a sense of the local way of life and you can buy healthy (most of the times) local products. You get really cheap prices and you get to know locals.
The first time maybe it's better if you go with a local, that can show you around the best stands and products, but it's also a lot of fun to adventure there on your own!
- City market: you can get there anything, from a couch to a bar of soap! It's usually very crowded and I would suggest to visit the fish and meat stands...
- the Solidarity Farm stand: close to the city market, has a wide variety of bio vegetables and fruits.
- Xiaula market: on the outskirts, it's very good to buy handmade local pieces of art (capulanas for instance); you can watch chinese movies in the nearby huts :)
- Sanjala Market: it's a very small and characteristic market in the neighbourhood of Sanjala.
