ATTRACTIONS
Getting to this colorful, chaotic Mercado is a great way to see the more authentic side of Antigua. It’s the only market actually aimed at locals, and you can buy everything here, from fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish to clothes, and shoes among so many other goods. You’ll probably get lost navigating the maze of the covered market, but that’s part of the fun.
There are many places to pick up traditional crafts and textiles around Antigua. Thanks to its location in town, this market is away from the busier areas, which makes for a picturesque visit inside the maze of the market and its ruins at the front with local people selling the crafts.
The flea market in Antigua Guatemala has endless thrift to go about. Find a huge variety of home goods and items but mainly it’s a clothing and shoe thrift or flea market. Ask for the “Paca” if you get lost in the market on your way there and people will point you in the right direction. Paca is the term used in Guatemala for large packages shipped in palettes, usually how secondhand clothes arrive in the country.
