Tianguis Cultural del Chopo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tianguis Cultural del Chopo is a flea market near Mexico City downtown. It is named after its original location near Museo Universitario del Chopo, an art deco building with a couple of towers designed by Gustave Eiffel. Since the end of the eighties, the Tianguis del Chopo has been at a location very near from subway station Metro Buenavista in the street of Aldama at the Colonia Guerrero neighborhood.
The Tianguis was a place for hippies to trade sixties memorabilia including not only records but also clothing, magazines, books and other collectibles. Eventually, the Tianguis has also given place to more recent musical styles like goth, punk, grunge and ska, among others.
