Detailed Description
La Merced is a traditional Market that we will arrive walking from the meeting point in Exconvento San Pablo at 8:30 AM, will be 10 minutes of walking through some streets with interesting stories that I will tell you.
In the market we will tour the main stalls. You will learn the names in Spanish of the most typical fruits, vegetables, drinks and dishes of Oaxaca and its ingredients. Also, the measures, the packaging and everything necessary to buy in a market.
For this you will practice Spanish, asking the sales people in some positions where I will guide you and help you. The objective is to use the most common questions and phrases in this context (I will give you a list).
Some vendors will offer you to try some product, you will ask for their ingredients and you will have to write them on paper to have the recipe. The tour will end at the same starting point at 10:30 AM.
