Love me a good market! I would have loved wandering those aisles with you -- sampling as we go.

Escaping from winter in Mexico, PortMoresby finds yet another market and realizes no two are ever the same.

DrFumblefinger visits the Central Market in the Costa Rican capital. It's a large market, covering a square block, with lots of things to buy.

  A great number of things in Mexico are named for the country’s most beloved historical leader, Benito Juarez, born in a Zapotec village in the State of Oaxaca.  It’s fitting, then, that the original market in the city is named...

Not just any market, Mercado de Abastos on a Saturday morning, numbers swelled by sellers and buyers from the countryside, is said to be the largest in Mexico. Intimidated, PortMoresby reports on a Tuesday.

Great market! Did you try any of that cream cheese by any chance?

No, I didn't try that one. I don't believe it's cream cheese, but another form of queso fresco, a fresh un-aged cheese (like the one at top here ) that's used a lot for toppings and that I do buy there. More body and flavor than cream cheese.

DrFumblefinger loves visiting markets. Today he shares a recent visit to the Municipal market in the beach town of Nazare, on the Atlantic coast.
