What to do and see in Guadalajara, Guadalajara Metropolitan Area: The Best Flea & Street Markets

May 20, 2022 Brandee Mangan

The inland city of Guadalajara is bursting with history and culture. Many attractions are in the city's historic center and in the neighboring city of Zapopan. Museums, parks and churches flourish alongside bullfights, rodeos and soccer (futbol). Nearby are the towns of Tequila, where the liquor of the same name is produced, and Tlaquepaque and Tonala, where artisans create an abundance of Mexican handicrafts. Mariachi, which originated in the area, is a common sight and sound in Guadalajara.

We spend a half day walking through San Juan de Dios Mercado. You want to buy it, you will find it here. All name brand stuff. Levis, Nike, leather goods, food stands, Mexican craft goods, clothes, perfumes. We left with a boat load. The dollar is trading at 20 pesos for a $1. No credit cards, cash only. Use situational awareness as this place is a locals swap meet.

Such an impressive large flea market! Some vendors accept cards but not most. If you do use a credit card the vendor charges anywhere from 3-8% additional to cover their charge for using credit. The Mercado stretches over 2 city blocks and is 3 floors. The 2nd floor mainly has food vendors where you can find menudo, pozole, tacos, tortas ahogadas which the local dish for this area of Jalisco. You can find any type of souvenir to Mexican dresses, shoes any kind of leather and horse equipment along with cowboy boots, kitchenware, and piñatas.
