Mercado 28 Cancun,Mexico a vibrant sojourn

 If you're traveling to Cancun, visiting Mercado 28 will provide you with a unique experience. Market 28 is an outdoor marketplace comprising more than 100 shops, located in the center of downtown Cancun and approximately 30 minutes from the hotel zone. A market full of ceramics, leather goods, painted and handmade dresses, straw bags, precious Mexican hats, tequilas, hand-painted colorful T-shirts, magnets, peppers, and silver and exquisite jewelry.  

    It is unique because you don't just go there and buy things at a fixed price; instead, you buy using your bargaining skills. For people from Western countries, it may seem and sound a bit strange, but that is the way things work here, and that is one of the fun parts of visiting Mercado 28. A burst of color everywhere with Mexico's local and beautiful handmade pieces, this marketplace is aesthetically enchanting as well. It's a wonderful place to spend an afternoon browsing and shopping. 

A few tips

1. It's a one-stop shop for buying souvenirs. You don't just go and buy, but check a few similar shops instead. There are always more options for one thing and, in fact, at a lesser price. 
2. Bargain-bargain, don't give what the seller asks for, and always negotiate, even though it's not the exact amount you want. 
3. Here, prices are affordable and reasonable compared to those at other souvenir shops. 
4. Always carry cash with you, as the vendors don’t accept credit or debit cards. In case you run out of money, an ATM is nearby. 
5. It's a walk through an outdoor market; you need to walk a lot, wear comfortable shoes, and a weather-appropriate outfit, as it gets very hot.
