It\u2019s taken us a few days to learn our way around the city and even with 6 days here, we have a list of things to explore on a future trip. For a small city, Oaxaca is loaded with unique and interesting activities.<\/p>\n

plus cooking classes, free city tours, mescal tasting, and\/or immersive Spanish language classes.<\/p>\n

Markets<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

There are expansive markets and small neighborhood markets to explore either on your own or with a market tour. The large Mercado Benito Ju\u00e1rez can be exciting but also overwhelming. Many <\/span>neighborhoods have a smaller market. The stalls are clean and the vendors friendly.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the popular things to try at the market are fruit juice drinks. A favorite is called Jugo Verde (Green Juice) with fresh orange juice, pineapple juice, spinach, kale, and more depending on the recipe. It has health benefits and is refreshing as well.<\/p>\n

Outside the City<\/b>:
\nDay trips to Zona Arqueol\u00f3gica de Monte Alb\u00e1n and craft villages are also possibilities that we just didn\u2019t have time to explore.<\/p>\n

Daytimes temps have been in the 80\u2019s and it\u2019s cooler at night so it\u2019s a good winter destination.<\/p>\n
