In the Magical Town of Orizaba, you can’t miss the opportunity to visit its markets, spaces dedicated to selling a variety of household items, handicrafts, and their unique food stalls where you’re sure to discover and sample the local cuisine. If you’re looking to experience the typical dishes of any region, the markets are your best bet.
This time, we’re featuring the Santa Gertrudis Market, a souk that opened a decade ago in the Paraíso neighborhood. This week, it has been confirmed that they will be changing their opening hours. It’s worth noting that the schedule varies depending on the day of the week; for example, the market will only be closed on Wednesdays.
Before sharing the schedule, we’d like to mention that this market opened in 2016 and is located in the southern part of Orizaba, making it ideal for people looking for a market close to home or those who can’t travel to other markets in the city, such as Zapata or Cerritos.
It’s worth noting that the area has a rich history, as Orizaba was home to the “San Gertrudis” Hard Fiber Factory in the 1800s.
An interesting fact is that this market used to operate only on Tuesdays and Saturdays, but now you can visit it almost every day of the week during its various hours of operation. This allows you to do your shopping, enjoy traditional regional dishes, or purchase some of the handicrafts offered inside.
Here is the list of opening hours for the Santa Gertrudis Market, which is now open all week and is located at Avenida Sur 35 #684 in the Paraíso neighborhood of the Magical Town of Orizaba. Here are the hours and days of operation:
Monday | 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
