Wonderful idea where the street is blocked off and a market is setup. Definitely a must do if you are in the area. Brings trade both to the stores and stalls. Great variety of products and foods.

Amazing. Very crowded, but food is so delicious and drinks are always nice and the clothing and jewelry are always beautiful. Surcharge is a lot, so I recommend bringing cash instead. Would recommend going there and going for a walk around the markets. 😊

It’s a large, vibrant market with something for everyone!
