We had a nice stroll after our Sanguches de Chicharron at Dona Paulina. We then headed off across the freeway to the District of Surquillo.
After crossing above the freeway you come across Mercado Surquillo No. 1.
And while we didn't intend on spending much time checking out the market we just couldn't help ourselves. I'd forgotten how much we loved the Mercados in Peru. Though it looks like things have changed up a bit as the largest crowds here were for the "Bioferia"; the tents selling organic items.
The rest of the market was also fairly busy; especially the food and drink section.
Though we were almost waylaid by the "Festivo Gastronomical".
Which had a neat "food court" kind of feel to it.
Where some of the smells were just plain intoxicating…..
We were tempted but the Missus had Cebiche on Her mind and there was no stopping Her.
It was nice being back in Peru. It had been too long.

And there was some Cebiche calling our name from behind the market!
