What city would be complete without its bustling marketplace?
This, the largest indoor market in the Americas, comprises three stories selling practically anything you could need - food, clothing, art, souvenirs, pets, household goods, all in dizzying profusion.
It put me ever so slightly in mind of Ben Thanh market in Vietnam, although more obviously geared toward an American tourist market, although still with plenty of locals to keep it authentic.
Beware, however - bargaining is expected, and an unwary gringo with limited Spanish may find himself taken for a ride.
