The best market in Cuenca Ecuador. I share why it's safe to eat in the market, how to get the best price and where to find everything.
Cuenca is one of the most popular cities in Ecuador for a good reason, it's one of the most beautiful and there's so much to do with lots of free art and culture events, museums.
And Cuenca is one of the best spots for traditional Ecuadorian food.
I always stay at the CASA CUENCANA. It's affordable, Ecuadorian owned and so clean and comfortable.

Hi I'm Ayngelina and my full time job is my site BaconisMagic.ca it's all about the best food around the world and how to make it at home.
In 2010 I left a job in advertising, 5 year relationship and sold all my possessions to travel the world. In the last ten years I've had some crazy experiences and even owned a restaurant in Toronto at one time. And prior to 2020 I had been based in Cuba.
When the world shut down I returned to Canada and decided to teach myself video. I wanted to share more than just words and photos but to show people the adventures I have learning about food around the world.
I'm not married. I have no kids. But I do have a lot of local friends who help me discover the best local tips.

Living there for several years, my all-time favorite market was the Miraflores market off of Avenida de las Americas every Saturday. I visited just about every single market in Cuenca - large and small all over town - and it was hands down the most diverse and spectacular market I ever found! They are outdoors, each vendor has their own tent, many organic growers of produce, fish, meat, eggs, dry goods, food stalls and more. The bus stops right across the street making it easy to get to from anywhere in Cuenca. To me, it more of a real farmer’s market than the ones indoors like 10 de agosto or 9 de octubre. It was as big, if not bigger than those markets, and I looked forward to going every Saturday.

10:16 hmmm perhaps in the Southern part of Ecuador bread isnt that much of a norm (Probably why i could never find a lot of bakerys in Cuenca lol) But I feel like in most of the Imbabura province its normal to have bread for breakfast... I lived with an indigous family for a few months and they would wake up at 3am to start making the dough so it will be ready by 6am. They would normally sell out by 8am... And in Otavalo in the centro theres basicly a bakery around every corner and they are open by 6am... Always amazes me how diverse Ecuador is
@ayngelina
@ayngelina Год назад
I think you're right as a few people mentioned this. In Cuenca they historically had bakeries in one section of the city. It's by where I stay. Sometimes I wake up early at 6 and think oh I'll go get bread but nope! Even my favourite old wood fired oven one doesn't open until 8am.

I'm an hornado addict but the vendors in 10 de agosto are very stingy with their cuerito (the best part). My favorite place is at feria libre - right at the entrance, next to a bootleg dvd shop. Not only is it the best hornado but they also have the most delicious llapingachos in Cuenca. The hornado lady is only there on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

In Quito most panaderías 🥖 open between 6-8 am, we do have it on breaksfast (I double checked this opening times in Google right now). The same goes for Ambato, where bread is a very important thing. Whereas in the coast they don’t usually eat bread in the morning cause they prefer green platain for breakfast.

@ayngelina
@ayngelina Год назад
That's very kind of you to say. It's not a bother. I do have videos of flying to Ecuador but it addressed a lot of Covid issues. To get to Cuenca I recommend flying into Guayaquil as flights are usually less expensive as it's a smaller airport and it's a quick drive or regional flight to Cuenca. Tourist Visas for Americans and Canadians are issued on arrival for 90 days. If you want to stay longer on the 91 day you need to pay for a visa extension, which I think is 133 but very easy to do. And any time after in a year requires temporary residency. In Ecuador you can't do visa runs like other countries where you get a new 90 days.

Why is your friend wearing a mask there's no mask mandates and Ecuador
@ayngelina
@ayngelina 2 года назад
Andres my guide? At the time we shot this Cuenca still had mask mandates. Although the President announced no mandates he didn't actually have the authority. It's not handled nationally but by province and cities can also enact them. Actually I believe Cuenca (and Guayaquil) still have them as it prepares for the next wave coming in the autumn. Right now I believe 4 in 10 are testing positive in Ecuador. Cuencanos have always supported wearing masks both inside and outside as they saw the devastation in 2020 in Guayaquil where they had mass graves whereas Cuenca was quick to mandate masks and weren't affected as much. I only took mine off to be on camera so in some cases where I'm speaking but not on camera I'm speaking through my mask.
