El Mercado de los Sueños

La naturaleza provee el regalo de la mañana, cuando recogemos rocío, lo guardamos en el huipil y llegando al mercado ya es fruta fresca.

Este tianguis prehispánico ha sido uno de los más importante de la zona occidente, donde usos y costumbres, del México antiguo son vitales en la vida cotidiana, ya que a través del intercambio lograban comercializar, reuniénd ose habitantes de diferentes regiones, con objetos exóticos como frutas del altiplano, pescado fresco, plantas medicinales , animales collares de piedras preciosas, como : Jade, obsidiana , ópalos, oro en canutos y achuelas de cobre, finos textiles como: Quechquemitl, huipil, maxtlatl. Como también cactli (Sandalia) de diferentes calidades, ya que estas diferencian los niveles sociales y jerárquicos, siendo principal cuenta de cambio, el tabaco. Siendo organizado en diferentes secciones: Curanderos y hierbe ros, granos y semillas, compra venta de animales frutas, verduras y flores, alfarería y una gran cantidad de comida preparada. A lo cual para su servicio existían los tamemes (cargadores) este mercado tenía la conexión con grandes comercializadores como lo s pochtecas, que se dedicaban al intercambio de productos en gran parte de Mesoamérica.

Hoy en día esta región artística del reinado Tonallan ha trascendido con orgullo, conformando uno de los centros más importantes de comercialización artesanal en Latino américa.


The Dreams Market

Nature provides us the everyday gift of the morning, where we harvest the bright dew from the fields, we keep it in our huipil and once we arrive to the market it has turned into fresh ripe fruit. This was the most important market in the west, where ancient Mexican habits and customs were vital in everyday life. Back in the day, it was trough swap how they made business. From ma ny different regions, each bringing their own exotic goods, such as: fruits from the plateau, fresh fish, medicinal herbs, animals and necklaces, made from precious stones, such as jade, obsidian, opals, gold shard and copper hatchets. They also had fine f abrics, called quechquemití, huipil and maxtlatl. Many displays of cactli (sandals) in a wide range of quality, since it was how social class and hierarchy was measured back then. They used tobacco leaves as currency.

The market was divided in sections: h ealers and herb merchants, grains and seeds, cattle and exotic animal trade, fruits, vegetables and flowers, pottery and a wide variety of food. There were the «tamemes» to help with commodities like carry the shopping, for a fair price. The market had a s pecial connection with important traders, such as the «pochtecas», who had a vast net of merchants across all of pre – Columbian America.

Today, this artistic and commercial region of the Tonallan Kingdom have proudly transcended worldwide, known as one of t he most important handcraft trade centers in Latin America.
