Music, maracas, dutch desserts, brasilian feijoada, men and womens on stilts and over and over again, street teather presentations. Never a Sunday is the same in the Flea Market of Casco Antiguo. Most of the times we invites different countries with the intention of share their cultures, from the way of dressing until famous meals.

The initiative of the flea market arose in 2007 with the help of the United Nations and the administration Coca Morazo and Ann Cecil Gómez, Coordinator of the Flea Market on behalf of the Casco Antiguo Office.  I remember that this activity start with a few antique sellers, frames and artisans. But now, we can see more than 70 spaces of merchants. With the increase of the space has increased the supply; now available from secondhand clothes, shoes, handbags, jewelry and crafts books in different languages and works made from recycled cans and other things.

How be part of the Flea Markert?

Is not hard to be part of the Flea Markert. There are several options:

For a space of 1.5 meters cost $12.00; for 3 meters $20.00; and 2 meters if it's for sale of food  it also cost $20.00. That only includes the reservation of the space and the awning on the same: the chairs, tables, and other support structures must be taken by the participants.
