Start getting familier with the segundas .........

I like the ones on the north out of town in Chemetla ....

Loreto has a humongous flea market on weekends.:spingrin:

keep in mind they are called "flea" markets for a reason. I'd be very hesitant to bring anything into my home that couldn't be thoroughly cleaned and wouldn't be likely to harbor bugs and critters.

I've been to the Chametla ones on the way to Centenario, got some dishes and other kitchen things. There seems to be several independant people out selling on Sundays, but the big shops are open all week.
happy bargain hunting:bounce:

Two Gringos introduced us to a flea market at the cementario in La Paz. We were just talking about it the other day and darn it if I didn't already forget what days it is held. Maybe they will chime in!

There is a central market in La Paz.

The market is set up along the side of the Panteon (take Militar south about 12 blocks) on Wednesday and Sunday. Lots of clothes, tools, food and produce, not much furniture.

Edit: error in direction

thanks all!
i don't throw away anything... furnished our last place via craigslist and when we moved had days and days of a 'free garage sale' in front of our condo driveway. everyone loved it. some of it, i'd picked up from others' 'trash'. :)

thanks for tips on bugs, etc.
