Great tips. Thanks.

@ACoupleofDrifters 3 года назад

You are welcome! The Juarez Market is a great way to spend a Sunday morning.

@seamusmullarkey5996 3 года назад

Just started watching your videos and really enjoying them. You give a great sense of the local flavor. Have travelled around Mexico but haven't been to Mazatlan yet. I'm doing my footwork by watching your videos. Keep up the good work.

@ACoupleofDrifters 3 года назад

Hi Seamus, Thank you very much for the lovely comment! We hope to show much more of Mazatlan and beyond. Maz is a great place to visit - we hope you make it to this city real soon. Thank you again for the encouragement!

Awesome guys. Lupita loves the Juarez Market

@ACoupleofDrifters 3 года назад

Yes, that place is so much fun to wander around. Sadly, a lot of the informal little birria/pozole/menudo places in front of the houses don't seem to be setting up at the moment... Last year we scored a great used pot at the market for 120 pesos - good quality, too!

@donnascott5646 2 года назад

This market has everything!! What a great video of this awesome market. Love your videos ❤️❤️

@ACoupleofDrifters 2 года назад

This market makes for a lovely shopping experience - we think you'd love it!

@matthewfoulger4682 3 года назад

Thanks for the tip - we visited there yesterday morning for the first time. We arrived a month ago staying in Cerritos and just jumped on a white bus that had Juarez on it - dropped us off a block away. A fun experience. We’re nomads too and retired early at 50 last year. Want to meet up and share stories?

@ACoupleofDrifters 3 года назад

Hi Matthew, That's very good to hear you enjoyed the Sunday Juarez market - it certainly is a fun way to spend a few hours. How long are you here in Mazatlan? We'd love to tell you more about our plans - can you message us? You can do this from our "About" page on RU-vid.

@travelpockets 3 года назад

That is one happenin' market. Definitely doesn't look like your typical flea market. The items being displayed on one of the cars was hilarious. So many interesting things here!

@ACoupleofDrifters 3 года назад

This is a nice way to spend a Sunday morning - plenty of good food as well.

@AliceFordAdventures 3 года назад

I found the hair cuts super fun. A pretty exciting place for a trim. I love a good farmers market, and I am sure there are some great food vendors in there too.

@ACoupleofDrifters 3 года назад

Those ladies are busy all day cutting hair and the food vendors are busy too. Sadly, the last year has seen a massive decrease in the amount of food options - hopefully they all return sooner rather than later. 🤞

@Vancouver_Dan 3 года назад

Good times! I never get tired of strolling through tianguis in any town. What is amazing is that, according to the anthropology museum in CDMX, this type of market goes way back to pre-hispanic times. The market in Tenochtitlán used to attract tens of thousands of shoppers and vendors each day and the tradition lives on. Sadly, I am too tall to purchase clothing or footwear at any tiangui (well maybe that is a good thing for my budget). I tried to map this for my post COVID break out trip to Mexico - do I have this right: the tianguis are in Barrio Juarez, near the Iglesia del Carmen and the Mercado Municipal Miguel Hidalgo? Thanks for another fun adventure!

@ACoupleofDrifters 3 года назад

Hi Dan, Indeed, the tianguis is alive and well after all these years - it's a great thing to experience. Yes, barrio Benito Juarez is where this tianguis is located; the Sunday market surrounds a few streets around Iglesia del Carmen, which is located across the street from Mercado Municipal Miguel Hidalgo. We hope the market and Bar la Ancla de Oro get a visit from you sooner rather than later - enjoy your next trip to Mexico! Thanks for watching, Dan.

@TheWholeWorldorNothing 3 года назад

Love this type of market, the sights, the smells, the colours all make them really exciting and this one looks great. We’ve had a couple of bad experiences with those street barbers though so invested in some clippers like you 😂

@CanadianDrifter777 Год назад

Wow, great little video, thanks! I'm planning to go this coming Sunday to look for a used bicycle. Did you see any for sale when you guys went there?

@ACoupleofDrifters Год назад

Hi Canadian Drifter. For all the times we've been there (as recently as August, 2022) we don't recall seeing bicycles for sale at Juarez Sunday market - that doesn't mean they aren't sold there. We have seen some for sale at local second-hand shops, or bazars as they seem to be called in Mazatlan. In centro there's a bike shop on Juan Carrasco and Carvajal, as well as one on Constitucion between Aquiles Sedan and Teniente Jose Azueta - maybe they sell used bikes there? Enjoy your day at the market!

@CanadianDrifter777 Год назад

@@ACoupleofDrifters Thanks a lot for replying back! That's good to know. I did go by those bike shops you mentioned and they didn't have anything used. Apparently, used bikes are in high demand as the gringos coming here all want to get a used bike. I heard that Facebook Marketplace might be a good idea. Might have to get back on Facebook again for that. I'm still gonna go to Jaurez market just to check it out. Thanks so much! All the best to you guys!

@ACoupleofDrifters Год назад

Sounds like you are _definitely_ in the market for a used bicycle - we hope you find one soon! Please let us know if you find _any_ used bikes at Juarez Sunday market - this could be useful to others reading this thread. Thank you so much for your comments - we are very happy you enjoyed our video!

@@ACoupleofDrifters Not in years sadly. I live on the border in El Paso so I use to visit quite often specially when I was younger.

@ACoupleofDrifters 2 года назад

We visited Mazatlan"s Tianguis Juarez in this video - it's held each Sunday. It's a lot of fun and you should check it out when you are in Mazatlan next time! We'll be in El Paso soon - we cross back into the US here and then head into New Mexico.

@SD2F640 3 года назад

excellent videos! But I suggest you use Tambóra Mazatleca music instead of mariachi music from Guadalajara to show the cultural diversity of Mexico!

@ACoupleofDrifters 3 года назад

Thank you for the comment 2 Compas. Sadly, there are copyright issues when using music in videos. We choose music which is free to fully use (doesn't require permission or attribution). Having said that, the two free-to-use-songs that we selected for this video were the best we had to work with and came from a VERY limited selection.

@prime8nate 3 года назад

Money should be no object when it comes to purchasing the one of a kind shopping cart grill, amigos.

@ACoupleofDrifters 3 года назад

Haha! To be honest, we're in the market for a charcoal grill right now - maybe we should make an offer on it? Would it look odd if we pushed that contraption down the street while grilling steak and chicken at the same time? 😂😉 The world of travel-grilling has just taken a huge leap forward - this sort of thing is only for serial grillers, thrill grillers and grill sergeants. Thanks for the comment, El Ciclista! 😀

@alejandrobeltran8657 3 года назад

I saw the grill and immediately wanted to know how much

@ACoupleofDrifters 3 года назад

Hi Alejandro - thanks for watching! We're looking to buy a small grill right now, so we're going to visit that same vendor at Juarez Market this Sunday. Although we won't be buying the shopping cart grill, we'll ask how much it is if it's still there. Our guess is about 1000 pesos ($50 USD). What's your guess?

@alejandrobeltran8657 3 года назад

@@ACoupleofDrifters nice, now if you have a chance you might want to show your followers The "Rio Presidio" ( Presidio River) , right off the outskirts of Mazatlán before entering Villa Unión,It gets full of people on the weekends,saludos! ( Guessing $650 pesos for grill)

@ACoupleofDrifters 3 года назад

We're planning a trip out to Villa Union in the next week or so, hoping to do a video on Tacos Keko. We'll check out the Rio Presidio whilst we're there. Thanks for the recommendation Alejandro. We'll let you know the price of the shopping cart grill on Sunday evening...as long as they still have it and we can get a price on it. 😉

@FrugalTravellers 3 года назад

A great video and such a bustling market! I'd never heard the word tianguis before! What was the guy cutting up at the 2:34 mark?

@ACoupleofDrifters 3 года назад

We didn't know what he was cutting at the time, but the sign behind him indicates it's a vibora tree. It seems he's selling some sort of gel containing the extract from the vibora for treating pain as well as an extract taken internally to help certain digestive and renal issues. Looking up vibora, it seems to mean some type of snake like a viper or adder. Every now and then, vendors get on city buses in Mexico to sell these types of herbal remedies to passengers, among other things.

@FrugalTravellers 3 года назад

@@ACoupleofDrifters I'd never heard of a vibora tree before so will look it up as it sounds fascinating... the orange root looked a similar colour to turmeric but on a way bigger scale! Have you ever tried any of those travelling salemen's remedies? I'm not sure I'd be game enough to do so! 😃😁

@ACoupleofDrifters 3 года назад

I (Jerry) have been known to purchase a few herbal remedies from bus vendors. I once bought a variety pack of three different pain rubs on a bus in Colombia - the pack was only 50 cents. Upon further inspection of the ingredients, I decided it would be best to NOT board the flight home with these, as cannabinoid compounds were listed. I used what I could, then ditched the rest before going through security at the airport. Better safe than sorry...lol!

@FrugalTravellers 3 года назад

@@ACoupleofDrifters Hahhha, I think you made the right decision there... the big question is, did any of the 3 different rubs ease the pain? :) I'd love to hear more about your Colombia adventures - is there a blog post about them? If not, I'll pick your brains if we head there later this year.

@ACoupleofDrifters 3 года назад

They sort of eased some discomfort I had with sunburn. We didn't have our website at the time of our trip to Colombia, so no blog articles. We hope you two make it there soon.

@williamtaylor5009 2 года назад

Hello. I notice in your videos that you both travel by bus. Are there no taxis or uber there or is it just cheaper to ride by bus?

@ACoupleofDrifters 2 года назад

There are taxis and ubers however we prefer buses because they are more economical for us. Buses in Mazatlan are either $10 pesos or $11.50 pesos depending on the route. Some routes in Mazatlan only have green buses which are air conditioned and offer comfy seats - buses on these routes are $11.50 pesos. Other routes operate white buses which don't have air conditioning - these are $10 pesos. Some routes also feature buses with a green and white paint scheme - these are air conditioned and cost $11.50 pesos. Taxis are unmetered and the fares tend to go by zones - of course these can be more convenient but we don't mind taking buses at all. We've never taken an uber.
