GROCERY STORES
100. Isste -There are numerous places to get groceries some basic groceries at Mom and Pop tiendas that are on every corner. However, if you want a nice size grocery story go down Calle 55 to 60 and make a right. 3 and a half blocks down there will be a Tienda Istte on the right. It is labeled 100 on the map. There is also a parking garage behind it on 58 if you have a car and want to drive. Number 100 on the map.
101. Soriana - If you are going to the big market downtown or Lucas de Galvas Market, Soriana is on the way. It is on Calle 56 about mid block on the left between Calle 63 and Calle 65. Like the main market it is usually quite busy. But they have a pretty good selection of things. Number 101 on map
NEARBY MARKETS
63. Lucas de Galves Market - This market is bustling with people and culture. It can be a bit intimidating for the newbie, but it is worth the experience. I love markets all over the world, but this one took me a little getting used to. It is best to go in the morning before it gets hot and the crowds are smaller. They have beautiful produce, fruits, spices, local dulces (sweets), handicrafts, flowers, pet supplies and just about anything else you need. AS I mentioned earlier they also have a fish market where you can buy fish and ceviche. Number 63
102. Santa Ana Market - This market is very small, but the few fruit vendors there have very good produce. And it is a little bit faster if you aren’t in the frame of mind to brave the big market. Also the little loncheria at this market are very nice and a fun place to experience a little bit of Mexican culture. You can get fresh squeezed fruit juices, or try some of the agua de pina or some creme de coco.
