Domingos en Coyoacan

Coyoacan is an oasis in Mexico City. As a result, Coyoacan is a popular destination on Sunday afternoons for many chilangos (as Mexico City residents are known to the outside world). Coyoacan is an old town square with various plazas, a church, a fountain and a kiosko. The plazas are crowded with merchants, tourists and pedestrian traffic.

The plaza periphery is anchored by traditional restaurants and cantinas. Street vendors hawk their snacks, t-shirts and souvenirs to the onslaught of pedestrians inching their way from one corridor to the next.

Sundays are enjoyable because one can enjoy a nice breakfast, some pleasant people watching, and a little browsing through authentic and pathetic street vendor merchandise.
