Going Local

Local Markets have a limited variety of vegetables and fruits grown in the yucatan mostly around Oxkutzcab in the Ruta Puuc. The meat section is a grizzly reminder most of us would rather not remember as we slice into our rib eye. But it is well worth spending some time at the Central Market in Merida or one of these smaller markets in each neighborhood for there are many priceless photo ops, some local crafts and for the adventurous eaters there are food stalls and hawkers.
