Montevideo Street Fairs - "Tristan Narvaja"
Sunday mornings in Montevideo can only be spent in one place: Tristan Narvaja street fair.
This fantastic open market is by far the biggest and greatest in the city. More than 40 thousand people visit it every Sunday, hoping to find an amazing antique object to add to their collection, bedroom, living room or garden, for the cheapest price. What I obviously like the most are the many opportunities that you can find on antique stuff. Pieces that go from furniture to clocks, hats, gentleman sticks, paints, books, magazines, sculptures and almost everything you can imagine. - Look the photos below - The fair is also one of the oldest and has gained its popularity within the years. Apart of the antique stuff, you can buy fresh fruits and vegetables, clothes (not the best ones), and many other things that you're possibly not thinking about. I even saw chickens, rabbits and goats for sale?...Come on! This is not India.. The fair starts in Tristan Narvaja street, in the corner with Colonia street, at the city center. For you to know and locate it better, this is one block from the law university, public library and arts university (which has been just refurbished) in 18 de Julio Avenue. Plenty of tourists visit it every Sunday. Actually, when I got the bus, there were 4 americans and 3 brazilians that stopped at the fair too. I had a great time and took some amazing photos. There are so many interesting stuff that I even thought about creating a website for antiques. What do you think about that?
