Tianguis 5 señores - Saturdays

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.
