Tianguis Cultural del Chopo

Tianguis Cultural del Chopo — Este espacio prescinde de los muros de un club nocturno para funcionar como un centro de reunión histórico de la contracultura rockera en la capital. Instalado cada sábado en las calles aledañas a la antigua central ferroviaria de Buenavista, la dinámica forma un extenso corredor peatonal flanqueado por puestos semifijos, lonas y pasillos repletos de discos de vinilo, casetes, ropa de importación y mercancía musical especializada. Fundado en 1980, este espacio lleno de historia y música en vivo declarado oficialmente el 22 de septiembre de 2023 por el Gobierno de la Ciudad de México como Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la ciudad.

Mexico City has its own punk rock market. This is Tianguis Cultural del Chopo, up for all things counter culture. The market originally opened in the 1980s to trade hippie memorabilia, but has since grown to include all genres of music and goods. Oh, I love Pokemon. There is so much to see. I could've blown my entire trip budget just at this market. I kind of want this, but ultimately I ended up choosing an Iron Maiden shirt and a Blink 182 shirt because they are the best fans ever. And speaking of music, there's also live performances every weekend. Dude, they're sick. Seriously, guys, this was one of my favorite parts of my entire trip. So if you find yourself in Mexico City, make sure to check this place out.
