As you can see Tianguis have been a part of the Mexican culture for more than 500 years. Tianguis comes from the Nahuatl word for market. Little has changed in the centuries, except for maybe the clothes.
It is a place for meeting friends, old and new. But in the more rural communities, it is also the place to get everything you need, hence this is why you can by almost anything you want, IF you know where to go.
Blankets:
stuff for the home:
food to take home:
Food for the road:
plants for the home:
Time has passed, peoples have come and gone, but the tianguis of old is still here to reach into our hearts and make us smile.
