Monday Tianguis in Playas de Tijuana
Yesterday, I made a first visit to the regular Monday morning tianguis in Playas de Tijuana.
The vendors set up around seven in the morning on the south end of this ocean side suburb, two blocks up from the beach on a main north-south
boulevard. Although we got there around two in the afternoon, the scene was still very busy
There were fishmongers and butchers, several produce merchants, an organic health food stand with free consultations with a curandero, a unisex beauty
shop and all the other usual suspects, cd merchandise: clothing shoes, toys, secpmd hand household items, tools, hardware, electrical and plumbing
supplies, along with anything you might need for your auto.
There were many stands selling carnitas, tacos, piza, soups, shaved ices and fresh licuados.z
The only thing I bought today was cheese, an exceptional panela and oaxaca that actually broke apart into thin strings as the girl packed it up.
I asked my friend what was the difference between a tianguis and a swap meet and she told me that a tianguis is expected to have more food products on
sale
