From Wednesday through Sunday, one can visit the San Jose Flea Market. Most of the goods available are of the mass-produced plastic and vinyl variety...and ugly giant carpets, framed posters of Bob Marley, cheap tools, and tube socks. The best feature of the market is Produce Row -- a crush of people, vegetables, fruit, and bagged spices. In a Mexican candy stall I found a "multijuego grande" set:
1 oca (with
checkers/chess on the back, in black ink)
1 serpiente (with a "Corre que te
Alcanzo" game printed in black on the back)
1 pirinola
2 dados
1 loteria
Five board games, two dice, and one spinner for $5. More than I wanted to pay, but I am a sucker for nicely lithographed colourful paper products.
