México the Trocadero has been placed every Sunday in the city of Guadalajara. It consists of a small tianguis of a few meters where reliquaries and the general public are placed on the walker displaying pieces of furniture, lighting, decoration, clothing and antique accessories. The vendors are placed at 9 am and at 5 pm they have already left the space. The Trocadero is not only a place of interest to buy, for some years now it coincides with the recreational road, where citizens walk along México ave.
