PHOTO GALLERY: Oaxaca City Markets


Market days in Oaxaca are among the most famous in the country. Open air markets are moveable feasts traced back for centuries. They are often called a tianguis, an expression going back to the open air markets of the Aztecs.

The tianguis is different than the established markets -- mercados -- where vendors sell their wares each day.

Market days are social events for people coming into town from far away.


MICROPHILANTHROPY

Working with local food and craft producers, we are developing the Oaxaca Market Project to provide internet training to locals and tipsheets and guides for visitors.

For those who wish to support this work, we are collecting funds for the workshops and to buy select goods direct from the artisans that will then be auctioned to raise additional funds for Planeta.com. Purchases are made at local markets, holiday fairs and from the homes of artisans. Donations are received via Chipin.
