Seasonal Farmers’ Markets Open in Riviera Nayarit

Handicrafts, organic products, home-cooked food, jewelry, pottery, locally-designed clothes and  accessories are some of the things you can purchase at local tianguis or farmers’ markets. Most of these lively, outdoor commercial areas are open for the winter-spring season, which runs from November to the end of April or the beginning of May.

Farmers’ markets in Banderas Bay have become great attractions as they feature shopping, dining, and activities such as yoga classes and live music. There are over ten of these in Riviera Nayarit alone.
