The Central Market of San Jos\u00e9 is a feast for the senses, filled with fresh fruits, veggies, flowers, medicinal plants, clothes, souvenirs, seafood, pets, handicrafts, you name it! Before devling into these bustling aisles during a recent class\u00a0excursion, Prof Mireya gave a spiel about the capital’s commerical heart:<\/p>\n

“The Mercado Central is located between Avenidas 0 and 1 and Calles 6 and 8. It was established in 1880 and declared national patrimony in 1995. Part of the building dates to the\u00a0end of the 1800s\u00a0and part was built in the 1940s. The market’s narrow aisles are always full of life, with their own manifestations of popular culture, from typical\u00a0food and\u00a0handicrafts, to herbs and ways of speaking.”<\/p>\n

“Est\u00e0 ubicado entre las avenidas 0 y 1 y las calles 6 y 8. Fue establecido en 1880 y declarado patrimonio nacional en 1995. Una parte de su edificio data, precisamente, de finales del siglo XIX y otra fue construida en los a\u00f1os 40 del siglo pasado. Sus angostos pasillos siempre est\u00e1n llenos de vida, con manifestaciones propias de la cultura popular costarricense como la gastronom\u00eda, la artesan\u00eca, la herbolaria, y tambi\u00e9n las formas de hablar.”<\/p>\n
