Discover Mercado de Sonora

Known as a market offering food, ceramics, and animals, its proper name happens to come from a movie theater that operated nearby several decades ago. It was built in the mid-1950s.  

This is where you come to find remedies for ailments and spiritual ills. Wares include a wide variety of medicinal plants and desiccated animals which promise to cure all kinds of afflictions. Followers of esotericism come here to stock up. 

But the Sonora market is also crowded with shoppers looking for utilitarian ceramics; earthenware dishes, plates, cups, and pots; wooden spoons and cutting boards; and decorations. 

There is considerable space dedicated to a huge range of costumes, which vary according to the season. 

The famous party favors used in baptisms, first communions, weddings, 15th birthday celebrations, and more are in endless supply, plus everything you need for birthday parties—decorations, toys, piñatas, and more.
