4 reviews of Mercado Modelo La Placita

A traditional market

This traditional market was founded in 1962. It has no outstanding architectural features, but more than 250 stalls scattered across its surface; my first impression was sheer chaos! Historically, the items on sale were purely regional - herbs, vegetables, Paraguayan soup, bulbs, cassava flour, prepared foods, nuts, sugarcane, snuff, candy, earrings, bracelets and leather sandals. It was really a landmark, but all that has been lost now, in favour of Chinese toys, imported electronics, accessories, gifts, clothing, etc. It really feels like it's lost its' history, culture and above all, its identity.

A survivor of the economic crisis, it's been declared a Provincial Heritage, which is strange because it really feels like it's lost its heritage. It's leaky when it rains, and you can expect torrents of water pouring down. The place is "La Placita", more information can be found at the Ministry of Tourism in 1985 Columbus Street
