The Mercado might represent what you call a cultural shock for many people. It has a lot of unusual colors, sounds and above all odors but once you get past that it’s very interesting.
The Mercado is a great place We MAY or MAY NOT get off the Van to walk around; it will be all up to you! We do tailored-made tours that is what we do!
I go there in the mornings to get my fresh fruit for breakfast or fish and shrimp for dinner that evening. Try it, you’ll like it.
This market is very different from the flea market — the sales persons are not pushy, and the goods are fruit, spices, home baked goods, some crafts, and pottery.
The market can be a little graphic but always very interesting to those that wish “diving” into the local culture
Very Unusual but always interesting, that is the Acapulco´s Mercado
After visiting it, I think we saw the real people of Acapulco. It’s not a market for silver and other tourist type items, but great to buy fresh foods other lovely items.
Come to El Mercado and see the real life of the Locals and what they buy…. their lifestyle…
The Mercado Municipal Is really an eye-opener! You can rest assured that you had never been in a real, large, Mexican market like this before, it is fascinating.
There is so much to see—dry goods, house wares, gorgeous flowers, candy, live roosters, fresh produce.
Many stalls featured health care products, which were a combination of herbal remedies and Santeria-type spells and prayers to saints.
One of these stalls had a cage full of large live bugs, whose purpose you would prefer not to ask about!
Of all the places visited on your trip to Acapulco, you will be most glad to have seen the Mercado. It is totally unlike anything you would have ever seen before! Trip Advisor
