Mercado de Artesanías

Lucas Balderas S/N, Zona Centro, 37700 San Miguel de Allende, Gto., Mexico

The Tuesday Markets in San Miguel de Allende sprawl widely and draw locals from far away. The markets sell clothes, foods, hardware, knitting yarn, goldfish...basically all the things that one would find in a mall or a big box store. The key difference is that everything gets carted away on Tuesday night.
