Located in the historic center of Mexico City, Mexico's capital, Mercado de Sonora is home to the country's largest esoteric market. Here, low-price herbs, amulets, potions and talismans are sold like hotcakes, and people practice all kinds of magic, both black and white. The Mexicans call it the witchcraft market. With its 400 tiny stalls spread along 11 narrow, crowded aisles, Mercado de Sonora is a city within a city. A place full of mystery that reveals the dual dimension of Mexican spirituality, between Catholic fervor and the continuing existence of pre-Hispanic rites and esoteric beliefs. It's a particularly lively market, especially in early November around the time of the Day of the Dead.
