Well, they say if you want to get to know Andrés, you should live in his house… Luckily, you don’t need a whole month to experience Cancún’s charms . In the reviews, they’ll always tell you about restaurants, beaches, and entertainment venues.But what about the local spots? They reflect the essence of the place you’re visiting. Mercado 28 is one of them.
Mercado 28 is located on Avenida Xel-Há, a colorful plaza steeped in Mexican folklore that connects all who visit it with our culture. It sells crafts, jewelry, souvenirs, and other products. Originally, this market had 28 establishments, hence its clever name. More stores have now been added to meet the most demanding needs of any customer.
Here you can find all kinds of souvenirs, rugs, clothing, necklaces, earrings, cigars, and much more at reasonable prices with attractive deals. Haggling is practiced here. Haggling involves negotiating with the vendor to lower the initial price of their merchandise. But be careful! Trying to lower the price of handicrafts too much could offend the artisan. On the other hand, if you don’t feel like spending money at Mercado 28, it’s a good place to browse and eat delicious snacks at low prices.
If you plan to visit Mercado 28, take your time. We recommend taking your time. This place is ideal for shopping, but also for strolling, so it’s recommended to arrive early to enjoy the walk around the plaza and see all the shops. Welcome and enjoy Cancún!
