Mercado de Medellín

Mercado de Medellín is a public market in Colonia Roma that spans one city block with numerous stalls. It offers fresh produce, flowers, packaged goods, and handcrafted furniture alongside specialty items from across Latin America.

The market was established as a central trading point in Colonia Roma and shaped the neighborhood's commercial growth. Over time, it evolved into a hub connecting local shoppers with products from throughout Latin America.

The market displays flags from different Latin American countries at stalls selling products from their regions. This diversity makes it a gathering place where people find foods and goods that connect them to their homelands.

The market is located near Campeche Street and operates daily accepting both cash and cards for purchases. Morning visits, particularly on weekends, offer the best selection and the liveliest shopping experience.

The stalls sell specialty items like Cuban ice cream with unusual flavors, candied fruits with chili, and mole pastes from different Mexican states. This blend of Cuban and Mexican products reflects decades of migration that shaped the neighborhood's character.
