Über diesen Tip
At the weekend vendors spread along Avenida México between Américas and Chapultepec selling furniture, vinyl records, old books, jewelry and vintage toys, with food stands and some live music. Arrive early because the best pieces go in the first hours, and bring sun protection. Bargaining is expected, so stay friendly, do not look too eager and be ready to walk away. Look carefully, since good finds sit among plenty of junk.
