Santa Lucia Tianguis - Mondays

Santa Lucía del Camino is a city and its surrounding municipality located in the central part of the Mexican state of Oaxaca. It lies just 3 km east of the state capital city of Oaxaca, within the Oaxaca metropolitan area. It is part of the Centro District in the Valles Centrales region.

Tianguis (from Nahuatl tiyānquiztli, 'market') is the traditional market that has existed in Mesoamerica since pre-Hispanic times and has evolved in form and social context over the centuries. The heritage of the tianguis is a mixture of the mercantile traditions of the pre-Hispanic peoples of Mesoamerica, including the Aztec, and of the bazaars of the Middle East that arrived in America via Spain. The tianguis are characterized by being located semi-permanently in the streets and on days designated by uses and customs, these vary in each population, in which the local community acquires various products, from food and clothing.
