 | | Over 100 years in operation and currently boasting upwards of 300 stalls, the several hundred meter long market with stalls on both sides of the street was an odd mix of produce, cheese, spices, chocolates, nuts, cheap textiles, fabric, undergarments, fake bags and animal hides. |
 | | Everything I have read suggests this was much more of a produce market many years ago but it has evolved into many more dry goods or textile stalls as various reasons have driven away the original produce sellers (whether lack of sufficient market, government regulations regarding sale of goods, etc.). |
 | | However, when compared to many other markets I have seen and was about to see during the rest of this trip, this one was a bit disappointing. |
