Mercados (Cuenca)

Feria Libre mercado (the biggest, I estimate 40 acres in land area covered) open and enclosed. Saturday is the huge day. Wednesday there is a huge clothing market that takes over the parking area, inexpensive new clothes).

Organic market, Sat 6-noon, mostly everything is gone by 7:30. Also a few of the organic vendors are there on Wed. Tell the taxi driver “El mercado atras de El Tiempo”(that’s a newspaper building on Av. Loja); any taxi driver will know.
