Cuauhtemoc Market - Ciudad Juarez, Mexico
- Page 1
Tragic Note:
This wonderful market was destroyed by fire in late July,
2004. Still, I will leave the pages here since it was an important
part of the city's history.
When you visit the Cuauhtemoc Market
you are the latest arrival in a long stream of visitors stretching
back into the 1880's. Located at Vincent Guerrero and Calle
Mariscal (just walk south on Avenida Juarez until you get
to 16 de Septiembre, then walk towards the cathedral and look
for this building), this market should definitely be on your
itinerary.
The modern market is inside, thus warm
in the winter and cool in the summer. It has two levels of
shops and a lower level food court where you can have an inexpensive
and delicious lunch. There are also shops on the side of the
building and an open air market beside the building. Here
are a few pictures taken in January, 2003.
The food mart serves everything from
burritos to hamburgers to sea food, and it's all inexpensive.
The ground level shopping floor can be seen above the food
mart. There is another shopping level above that one. (Another
interesting photo to view at full size.) |
