mercados
Where vendors gather
Mercados is Spanish for markets—both the physical places where goods are sold and the abstract economic systems of buying and selling.
In English contexts, mercados typically refers to Latin American or Spanish marketplaces: We wandered through the mercados in Mexico City.
The word often evokes open-air markets with local vendors selling produce, crafts, and street food.
