Mercado Medellín

For those visiting the city be sure to pass by the Mercado Medellín night market to see the Christmas market at full pace. Stands line the east side of the market and besides offering Christmas trees feature decorations of all kinds from mexican handmade decorations the other "made in China" variety.
But even better, are the puestos which open after dark and remain in service until midnight. These offer a variety of antojitos (little nibbles or starters) from pozole to enchiladas to sopes. Jolly diners fill long picnic tables set up in the street. There is warm punch to wash it all down and flan or buñuelos with honey for dessert.


The Mercado Medellín is located between Monterrey and Medellín, Coahuila and Campeche in the Colonia Roma. If you arrive by Metrobus, get off at Campeche and walk east. Nearest metro station is Chilpancingo. Open seven days a week until past midnight. The night market will be there through December 23rd.
