Reflection about Market's experience




The route in the Antiguo Cuscatlan's Mercadito, has an interesting perspective to know how people behave with others in a public space. Generally, the acception about a market is noisy, sometimes thinks it's grubby and dangerous; but, when I came in this market, the perception is so different, since the beginning, the fruits and vegetables until the last parts, the comedores and food selling area; it was neat, ordered and almost quiet. A special and noticeable detail was the change of smells that you could sniff, firstly from the fruits, passing by flowers, clothes, footwear, and endly, food: seafood, cheese, meat, chicken and many others. Another detail was the arrangement of the chairs and tables in the comedores is other like an restaurant, where you can see two linear and orthogonal blocks without any conection; while in this places, the peculiar position gives more social interaction among distinct group of people.
