The colourful Sunday market at Tlacolula is vast and one of the best we visited.
The Sunday open air market (tianguis) in Tlacolula was very colourful - everything for sale from live turkeys to tables! This is one of the oldest markets in the region.
The church, Iglesia de la Asuncion de Nuestra Senora, is a typical 16th century building with an ornately decorated Baroque interior, and some graphic depictions of saints.
Many people come from the surrounding towns and villages and it is an opportunity to socialize as well as to trade and stock up the larder. The typical dress of the local women included plaited hair, tied with coloured ribbons and bows.
