@@meatgravylard yes, good one!!! We can't get enough of the cheese and bread! We went to a market and biked over to the eiffel tower for a picnic a few years ago. It was incredible.
Fun! I’ve been to markets all over the world in Africa, India, Mexico, etc. So much better than going to a huge grocery store. Great opportunity to strike up conversations.
Fun video you guys! You inspired me to venture down to the market with my son who moved her recently from Portland. Sounds like your Spanish is coming along. I need to get to work on it! Loved the music choices!
We opened one through Intercam. You don't need to be a resident, but just go in with proof of a rental agreement through a bill (like utility/electric) and that was it, as far as we know. Things might have changed but it was pretty easy when we got it a couple of years ago!
100% fresher than the grocery stores. You have to eat or freeze all of the produce pretty quick because without the preservatives that they use at the bigger grocery stores the food goes bad quick which I guess is a good thing :)
a lot of the produce in the mercado is less than 24 hours from being harvested, from local farms, they bring the produce direct from the little towns and farms at 4-5 am.
Inside of buildings you still need to wear a mask. They have become a little more loose with needing to wear a mask on open streets since this video was shot.
Yes it is, all the local produce, with the exception of apples, pears and other fruits and vegetables that are not harvested in the region, some of them are massively produced in other areas of Mexico, but pestisides like glyphosate are banned in Mexico, also Monsanto.
@@marioderioverde4470 at the time of filming it was anywhere outside of your car or house. They just eased up on the mask mandate so you don't have to wear them if you are outdoors. But this in not the focus of this video. Not sure if we will make a video about the mask rules but I'm sure you can find out more information if you chose to.
Question... We've enjoyed the markets in Mexico, Guatemala and Thailand to name a few. Where have you found the best markets around the world?
France

Mexico city
@@pablerry yes some great food in Mexico City. What area in your opinion has the best markets?
Hard to hear you with a mask on...

100% that is amazing!! what was the wildest thing you found?

SO happy you liked it!! Did you know Nate is from Portland too.
Have a great time shopping and let us know if you find anything interesting :)
This house looks really amazing I’d love to go on some thing like this with you sounds like so much fun
that would be great!!! We would love to show you the local markets here in Merida.
That's a good idea. What do you need to open up a bank account

Thanks for this. Was the produce fresher than what you can find in stores?

I'm just curious what do the eggs cost there? I didn't see it come up. Thanks!
We will look in the unedited footage and see if we can find the price. I think we paid per egg :) Definitely less expensive than the big box store.
Great shopping in that hot place. Querétaro is cooler love 💕😘💕
we love Querétaro, as well. We hope to visit there again, soon!
What's the name of the song,on the 2nd trip to the Market? It's nice.
Hi guys! Is this a new post or re-posted?
new
@@NativeNomadsVlogAwesome! Just making sure are prices are still current. 👍👍 Love the post.
Do you have to waer a mask in merida in July 2022 ????
Inside of buildings you still need to wear a mask. They have become a little more loose with needing to wear a mask on open streets since this video was shot.
Is there organic food? Pesticide free?
As far as we know the food is organic without pesticides.
Yes it is, all the local produce, with the exception of apples, pears and other fruits and vegetables that are not harvested in the region, some of them are massively produced in other areas of Mexico, but pestisides like glyphosate are banned in Mexico, also Monsanto.
Wow what a dream!! Thanks for sharing!
mexico uses pesticides unless it's a small local farm
@@user-nj1zu2nf1x It uses some pesticides, but glyphosate was banned since 2020.
And monsanto is also banned in Mexico.
What is the name of the market
The market is Lucas de Galvez. It is a really fun place to explore if you are n Merida
Can you shop there without speaking spanish?
Sure if you understand numbers (prices) but it helps to know a little Spanish :)
Why is everyone still wearing masks there
This was from a while ago when it was still mandatory to wear masks in public. It is no longer a thing and Merida has lifted the mask mandate
As soon as you came out with a "burka", mask, I turn you down.
required still in Merida, Mexico
