One of the most important legacies Banderas Bay has received from its northern neighbors is the so-called farmers market, an open-air market where a wide variety of organic produce is available for sale to the general public. That said, it is worth noting the existence of the tianguis in Mexico since the pre-Hispanic era. In fact, the word “tianguis” comes from the Nahuatl “tiānquiztli,” which means ‘market.’

Today, the concepts of the traditional Mexican tianguis and the Anglo-American farmers market have merged, with several of these markets operating around the bay, which attract hundreds of local and foreign visitors eager to purchase all kinds of products, listen to live music and visit with each other.

There are other important markets in the region that combine the traditional charm of Mexican tianguis with the offering of products common in farmers markets, some of the most outstanding listed here.

We have included the schedules of each of them to visit and get to know them!

“Vallarta Lifestyles, from its inception has been a quality reference. In some way, it has managed to consolidate the destination because all our restaurants where there and we communicate as an exchange platform. The benefit, besides advertisement and recommendation, is that this publication is a solid copy of Puerto Vallarta’s evolution. If you pick up an old issue, immediately you’ll recall precious memories.”
Rodolfo Choperena

“We started advertising in Vallarta Lifestyles because we really liked the quality. Actually, it is still the best magazine of Puerto Vallarta, because of its spectacular articles and photos. Thanks to its distribution points at famous hotels, it is the ideal publication to reach the clients we are looking for.”
Leonardo Uribe

“We started to advertise 7 or 8 years ago and certainly it has helped us position our brand. Now that we have improved a lot in quality, processes and finished products, our marketing in the magazine is precisely to strengthen the leadership we have earned through the 13 years in the area. I also think that we also have grown with the advertisement and that it has been done and it has helped us get to where we are now.”
