Mexico – Yucatán – Valladolid

People that know me, also know my fascination with local markets wherever I travel, therefore a visit to the Mercado Municipal in Valladolid was a must. This authentic Mexican market offers everything from cheap clothing to local fruits and vegetables, honey, sweets (even in Mexican colors) and not to forget the famous chile habanero which is one of the hottest chiles in the world and for which the Yucatán peninsulat is nowadays the biggest producer. Besides the actual chili peppers, habanero hot sauce is also being sold which is widely used in the Yucatecan cuisine.
