The Sights And Sounds of the Mercado de Abastos Tirso de Molina in Santiago Chile

 

There is a lesser known market called the Mercado de Abastos Tirso de Molina. It is a five minute walk across the Recoleta street bridge from the Mercado Central de Santiago. It’s best described as a local swap meet mixed in with a local farmer’s market.
