Several times a year in Merida there arrives a little fair of artisans from the state of Oaxaca. They set up their tents in a park and sell very nice textiles, a few ceramics, some wooden toys and lots of food. Today I visited the tents in the park at Santa Ana but often they set up in Parque de la Paz in front of the Centenario Zoo. I didn´t see a lot to buy because I´ve been to so many of these street fairs in the past few years and I don´t need another bedspread or ceramic pot. I do, however, plan to return and try the mole and tamales as soon as I can.
