The Ocotlán market takes place every Friday in Ocotlán de Morelos, located about 40 minutes from Oaxaca. The market of Ocotlan is probably one of the most traditional markets for its suppliers and consumers from many parts, but mainly, Ejutla, Zimatlán and Miahuatlán, since they are the closest.

In the Ocotlán market there is a variety of colors, flavors and smells that bombard the senses. In the market there is an abundance of flowers, delicious food from which you can choose, and stop by the fresh fruits and vegetables. You can also see traditional clothes, handmade knives and quite possibly a couple of live animals for sale.

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.
