On Sundays, after Mass at some 17th-century Baroque church, my family never missed the chance to visit La Lagunilla market. What exactly is La Lagunilla market? To date, per La Jornada newspaper, La Lagunilla market houses over 5,000 stands, with roughly 17,000 people earning a living from the Sunday market. La Lagunilla market is really a sight to be seen, but try arriving before noon — to avoid the crowds — and leaving before dusk. All of these warnings could suggest that the La Lagunilla market is not safe to visit.
