MERCADO DE ANIMALES

A little outside the city, you can find calves, cows, pigs, ducks... and dogs at the best price. Many of these exchanges still take place according to the old tradition of bartering, which is rapidly losing ground to the exchange of greenbacks. On all sides, the natives are busy, recognizable by their colorful costumes: midnight blue poncho on white trousers, rope espadrilles, long braid and hat for the men; long blue woollen skirt slit on a white petticoat, white embroidered bodice, golden pearl necklaces for the women... Be early.
