"On the banks of the Macal River, atthe edge of downtown San Ignacio, you'll finda sprawling Saturday market where everything from shoes and clothing to housewares and fresh produce is for sale. Local people shopfor suppliesand gather to catch up on gossip atthe food stalls. The market is somewhat divided betweenproduce sellersand souvenir vendors, but as the market has grown, theseparation seems to have floundered a bit. Leaveenough time to wander every aisle and stall to ensure no gem is left undiscovered. Locals recommend the tacos and pupusas as the best choices for lunch, and the snow cones topped with evaporated milk for a snack. Buses also park just next to the market in a dirt lot, so transportation is not difficult if you’re coming from outside of town."
