You never step into the same market twice, never more so than when you wade into the Mercado Abastos, the largest market in Oaxaca City, and one of the largest in Mexico. There  is  nothing  else  like  it  in  Oaxaca,  especially  not  the  more  polite  and  organized  markets  near the historic core. This makes it a site for urban pilgrimage, but definitively not a tourist site.
