This had to be my favorite place we visited on our trip. If I lived and cooked in Puerto Vallarta, I’d be a daily shopper here at the market. I think we ended up going almost every day because we discovered a little breakfast place right outside where this woman prepares nopales. I got to watch her in action every morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are so many fruits and vegetables for sale, great stacks and bins of them. I couldn’t take pictures of everything, although it was all beautiful. A few of the representative vegetables: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This woman worked hard squeezing orange juice. The cashier, who spoke a little English, asked us if we wanted juice in plastic or glass. Being used to preferring glass jars at home, we said “glass.” Turns out she meant a cup of orange juice, so we walked away with a huge Styrofoam cup of juice with a straw. The metal grid seen at left in the foreground was part of a tall arched cage which could be filled with a supply of oranges for squeezing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
