Tianguis are open air markets. They are fascinating remnants of the pre-Hispanic age and are still a very important part of the commercial exchange of most cities and towns in Mexico.
In general, the busiest day for the Tianguis is Sunday, when artisans and producers can leave their daily labor to go sell their merchandise, to do their shopping and to have fun.
Siempre hay mucha gente comprando en los tianguis. There are always a lot of people shopping at street markets.
