Whether it's the city or a small town, one of the truly unique experiences in Mexico is a visit to the local market. In Mexico City, there are any number of markets to choose from, large to small, general to specialized. Stomping about the Alameda neighborhood this morning, I stumbled upon a relatively small market near the larger Mercado San Juan.

The selection of fish and seafood was truly amazing. Why wouldn't one come here daily to buy fresh fish, fruit and vegetables?

Of course, no market would be complete without a little butchering going on. Cabrito (young goat) is one of my favorite taco ingredients when I can find it. Or, you can take a whole one home for a backyard barbeque.
 |
| Oh mama, get the BBQ going. We're having something special tonight! |
Of course, for the less adventurous, there is much more offered such as a tremendous selection of fresh fruits and veggies.
 |
| One sees row after row of fresh fruit just like this in every market. |
Or, as an appetizer, we could begin with a selection of sausages (some of these happen to be from Spain).
 |
| Chorizo and much, much more! |
All in all, one can spend hours walking around any of the local markets. In this one, I was also treated to some cheese and wine samples. Mexico is really a very civilized place!
