La Lagunilla Market
Mexico City, Mexico
January 2016

An amazing place to shop on Sundays in Mexico City, this vintage/antique flea market is open air and runs for several blocks alongside a regular market in the northern part of downtown D.F. You can find everything from old cameras and lenses, to folk paintings, carved masks, jewelry, homewares and furniture. The regular market next door I assume is daily or at least both weekend days, and is full of (new) clothes, pirated CDs, fresh juices, tamales, flowers, vegetables etc. In the streets south of the market are blocks of stores selling quinceanera dresses and sparkly shoes.
