jgmpuma Posted November 7, 2008 #1 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Has anyone found one? We like to poke around and see what there is that we don't see at home, like spices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clackey Posted November 8, 2008 #2 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Has anyone found one? We like to poke around and see what there is that we don't see at home, like spices. There are all kinds of small shops at the market near the bus stop. If you like to prowl shops you need to walk back a few blocks away from the tourist traps and shop with the locals.

hdawson Posted November 8, 2008 #3 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Clackey is the one that learned, that in the market, eggs are sold by the pound rather than the dozen. I agree, exploring the markets is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YucatanToday Posted November 9, 2008 #4 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Take the free shuttle from the shop to the Casa de Cultura. Walk south (away from the beach) on Calle 80. On the right hand side, you'll see San Francisco supermarket. It's about half a block north of the town square, between Calle 29 and Calle 31.

jgmpuma Posted November 11, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Yucatan: One more question - does the supermarket take dollars, or should I convert for some pesos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YucatanToday Posted November 12, 2008 #7 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I think you should use pesos at San Francisco. There is an HSBC bank right across the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdawson Posted November 12, 2008 #9 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Like most foreign ports, carry small denominations of US currency to avoid carrying lots of local currencies back home. Also in Mexico, make sure your US bills are in near perfect condition. No tears in the bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
