The smells and sounds alone leave your closet mukb $The smells and sounds alone leave your closet mukbang addict spinning. 🤔😜🤣 This half-day adventure to Tlacolula & Mercado Municipal Martín González almost didn't happen, even after my intentions to make it during my 6/7 weeks in Oaxaca. So glad I pushed through, and I so encourage you to make it if you're ever in Oaxaca. (SAVE THIS POST FOR LATER!) QUICK notes on how to go to Tlacolula & Mercado Municipal Martín González 🇲🇽: • Ask around for a guided trip (pricey, but if you're the all-inclusive, don't think, I've got money to spare type, go nuts!) • Take a collective bus 🚌 back and forth, which will only cost you about $5-6USD in total, and go at your own pace (I had no clue how to do this, but a little bit of perseverance and it was quite easy.) Collectivos in Mexico have always been intimidating to me, especially since I only know enough Spanish to be functional—Not necessarily enough to quickly problem solve or dig deep with questions in Spanish on the fly. Collectivos are buses (there are other flavors, but let's talk buses) that run back/forth between a few locations. Because each one ONLY caters to one specific route and many stops along them, and many roads in Mexico are gridded and one-way, you can quickly figure out where they're going, and thus that they'll essentially return to the same spot at some point. On the windshield of collectivo buses, there are always a few neon words/locations. So if you see "Tlacolula" (where you're going), and you see "Oaxaca / Centro" (where you're leaving from and hoping to make it back to), then you know you've got a cheap ride back and forth, and the rest is just taking the leap! Collectivos around town are usually like 8 pesos (50c), but for longer trips like this 40m ride each way, it was 30ish pesos 1-way ($1.50USD). What a steal. Leave at least 3+ hours toenjoy all the sights & sounds and smells, and you will likely still not see a fraction of what you could. Have food at multiple stands and try something different. Oh, and the flower stands are epic-lilies the size of my head! #mexico #mexicotravel #tlacolula #oaxaca #solotravel #thisistypeone #thisistype1 #mercado #foodie #plantlover$
