El Puente del Papa, Flea market at Puente del Papa in Monterrey, Mexico.
Located along the Santa Catarina riverbed, this open-air market displays thousands of items from clothing and toys to antiques and collectibles.
The market emerged in the 1970s when merchants relocated under the newly constructed bridge, establishing a permanent trading location in central Monterrey.
The market represents a meeting point between Mexican and American commerce, where second-hand items from the United States find new owners.
Merchants accept both cash and digital payments, offering better prices early in the morning when the selection of goods is most extensive.
Local vendors source their merchandise directly from Texas border cities like Laredo and McAllen, creating a specialized cross-border trade network.
