When you go to the Mercado Cardonal en Valparaíso, the answer is quite a bit.
Today, I caught a bus to Valparaíso to go to the market and find some produce. A couple of the Chileans I met here told me about the market and the incredible prices. I was not disappointed.
The market is right off the port and if you walk around towards the back of the market you can see pick-up trucks full of produce being unloaded. I don't think I have ever seen so many onions in one place! Inside and outside the building, vendors line up selling all sorts of produce and trinkets.
The quality and price of the produce ranges but this is what I bought for $11-
I was pretty excited about the trip and being able to find my way around the city (thanks to a little help from the roomies).
Here are some photos of the market that I found online (I didn't have my camera with me to take photos)-
These are the kind of updates I am talking about!!
