Huge, colorful flower market, featuring both baroque floral arrangements, exotic blooms and plants. It's filled with marigolds, costumes and papel picado (decorative tissue paper banners) in the weeks leading up to the Day of the Dead. It’s one block south of metro Jamaica. There's colourful fruit and veg and an eating area too.
