Market

Market days are Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.

Thursday is the day of wholesale trade and most of the merchants come to sell their products from the region known as “Tierra Caliente” and from the center of the Republic.

Friday is the most important and colorful day, as most of the inhabitants of the mountain villages and the lake region come to sell their wares, including the five species of fish that inhabit the lake, cheeses, a wide variety of seasonal fruits, handmade tortillas, vegetables and legumes, seeds, candles, flowers, rope, baskets, mats, wooden furniture, firewood, and molcajetes made of volcanic stone, among many other items.

At this time, and due to the improvement of the image that this area requires, a new municipal market is under construction and the “Gertrudis Bocanegra” square is being temporarily occupied by merchants. The work is expected to be completed sometime in 2025.
