k UILJLHJJIUIAU LrfCi JX,
After Texas became a part of
the United States, El Mercado
stayed very much the same, but
has grown with the city over
the years to what it is to day.
In addition to the more
than 30 shops
at El Mercado,
the area is also
home to many
different festi-
vals and events,
happening
almost weekly.
There are also
many differ-
ent Mexican
resautrants and
traditional food
stands through-
out the market
place.
When I
went, I had to
stop and grab a
fresh horchata
from one
stands -
was amazing.
Everything at
El Mercado is
extremely color-
decorated
