Mexico City regorge de nombreux marchés, chacun avec ses propres particularités ( ma visite dans le marché voodoo restera inoubliable, j’en ai encore des frissons ! )
Celui que j’ai préféré est le “Mercado Ciudadela”.
On y trouve beaucoup de ravissants objets ( Calaveras peintes, vêtements, accessoires, objets de déco en tout genre ).
C’est dans ce marché que j’ai trouvé la grande majorité de mes souvenirs de Mexico City.
Moi qui raffole de ces petites boites colorés mettant en scène des squelettes costumés, j’en ai ramené une bonne dizaine à la maison !
Bien que ce marché semble le plus touristique, j’ai été surprise par le très peu de monde qu’il y avait. Avec mes amies, nous étions pratiquement les seules sur les lieux !
L’ambiance y est agréable, et les vendeurs très sympathique, ce qui ne gâche rien !
Si vous avez l’occasion de visiter Mexico City, et que vous n’avez pas particulièrement envie de faire beaucoup de marchés, c’est celui ci que je vous recommande chaudement.

There’s many different markets in Mexico City, each of them with its own peculiarities (my visit into the voodoo market will remain unforgettable )
My favorite is the “Mercado Ciudadela.”
There are many delightful objects there (painted Calaveras, clothing, accessories, decoration stuff ).
It’s in this market that I have found most of my souvenirs from Mexico City.
You know those little boxes featuring small dressed skeletons? welln I like them so much I have bought at least ten!
Although this market seems more touristy than the others, I was surprised by the very few people who were there. With my friends, we were practically the only ones!
The atmosphere is nice, sellers are friendly, which doesn’t hurt!
If you have the opportunity to visit Mexico City, and if visiting many markets is not really your thing, then I think this is the one you should go to!

“Dias de los Muertos” approchait à grands pas, et cela se faisait sentir dans les magasins. En particulier les boulangeries.
Les Mexicains font effectivement leurs emplettes pour les “ofrendas”, les offrandes qui seront par la suite offertes à leurs ailleuls.
Un passage à la pâtisserie Ideal m’a fait comprendre l’ampleur de la chose.
L’endroit grouillait de monde, et les boites contenant le fameux “Pan de Muerto ” en constant réapprovisionnement sur les stands.
Etant venue tout spécialement de France pour Dias de los Muertos, assister aux coulisses des festivitées m’a rapproché encore plus de la culture Mexicaine.

“Dias de los Muertos” was only in a few days, and it was really showing. Especially in the bakeries.
This is the moment for the Mexicans to get their “ofrendas”, the offerings that will subsequently be given to their ancestors .
A visit to the pastry Ideal made me realize the big deal it actually was.
The place was swarming with people, and the boxes containing the famous “Pan de Muerto” was in constant replenishment for the stands.
Since I came from France especially for Dias de los Muertos, seing this brought me even closer to the Mexican culture.

Great pictures again. I love how colorful they are. That was one of my favorite things when I visited Cozumel, the bright colors everywhere. They transmit such a happy feeling, even when it’s for a darker sort of holiday like dia de los muertos.

Then I think you would like this place : https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A-2M-qbCQAAnUnE.jpg:large
You certainly should check up Puebla and Guanajuato, I’m from Mexico and I’m sure that those places are more magical than the capital. The picture is from a small café at “Boulevard del Sapo”, it’s so Mexican, I love Puebla. I’m glad people come to my country and see the beauty in those small things :)
Maru le January 16, 2013 a 8:40 am . .
Hi Dear,
I’m so happy to see these images from my country. Really lovely.
It’s a pitty that you didn’t go to Patzcuaro in Michoacan, it is The place where the most authentic and intense día de los muertos is celebrated. It’s an absolutely magical town, I’ve never been during dia de los muertos because it’s so crowded but it’s one of my dreams.

Wow!! Voir sur ton post que t’est venue exprès pour cette festivité, ça fait plaisir!! Il y a du charme et surtout mistiscisme. Oaxaca et Michoacan sont les endroits à visiter pendant ces dates pour témoigné comment on fête El día de Muertos. Il y a une chanson qui s’appelle Calavera de Lila Dows et Benny Ibarra, peut être tu vas aimer, merci en avance pour montrer que le Mexique a des belles choses à montrer.
