Oaxaca Markets

Introducing the Oaxaca Market Project

MEXICO - Oaxaca has some of the best markets and distinctive folk art stores in the country.

Tradional markets include 20 de Noviembre y Benito Juárez, Artesanias, Abastos and Sanchez Pascuas markets. Newer Friday/Saturday natural product markets include Pochote and Multi-Bio Cultural Organico.

In the past few years organic and natural products stores have opened, including Xiguela and Blackbox. Out of town stores such as Ayuuk sell a selection of natural products. And craft stores such as El Arte Oaxaqueño have been selling traditional crafts for decades.

This collection also highlights the 'high season' markets, temporarily set up during Easter (Semana Santa). And for good measure we've added our galleries documenting regional Folk Art and the most recent Rural Tourism Fair.

ABOUT THESE PHOTOS

The photos in these galleries were taken by Ron Mader and accompany articles on Planeta.com. Print copies have been shared directly with the venders and in the case of Pochote, a slideshow was presented in 2006 that chronicled the development of the market.

In some cases we have collaborated with venders so that they have their own email and flickr galleries.

BE GENEROUS

Suggestion. If you are visiting Oaxaca, print out a few favorites, find the venders and give them the copy. It will make their day, particularly if you buy something.
