The celebration of the first 45 years of construction of one of the most emblematic municipal markets in Puerto Vallarta, the Cuale River, began with a popular festival.
The market's tenants joined in the celebration of this space that is visited by thousands of tourists every year. It currently has 156 stalls, 18 selling food and 138 selling crafts.
Origins of the Cuale River Market
The municipal market began with the famous polleras that in 1939 gathered in front of the Plaza de Armas to sell a variety of Mexican snacks. They were later located in the so-called Casco Viejo, also known as La Rueda or El Volantín, in the space currently occupied by the market where the building would later be built with material. It would be inaugurated on November 27, 1979 by the then municipal president Eugenio Torres and the governor Flavio Romero de Velazco.
Representing Mayor Luis Munguía, Councilwoman Marcia Bañuelos, president of the Commerce, Economic Units and Markets Commission, said that as a government they are seeking to promote these spaces, as well as reinforce their identity with important works.
