Part 4/9:
As we wandered, our local expert Jorge described sections of the market that were closed off for rituals or spellcasting—an intriguing glimpse into traditional practices that still thrive in contemporary society.
A Refreshing Break with Local Treats
After a chaotic yet exhilarating experience at the markets, it was time for a refreshing break. We indulged in delicious micheladas—Mexico’s twist on a beer cocktail, complete with a candy rim. The flavorful concoction, full of culinary surprises, was a perfect way to cool down after the excitement of market exploration.
While tasting the micheladas, we also sampled sweetened sesame treats and other local snacks. The burst of flavors from salsas and spices encapsulated the essence of Mexican cuisine.
