A manic maze of a market. Loads of really cheap everythings. It's quite an experience but not one to be undertaken with a hangover or when feeling weak. All the crap that you don't really need but end up buying from the street stalls is here but cheaper. Handicrafts, clothes, chickens, leather goods, dogs, snakes, food, jewellery. Shop yourself out.
There's a Metro stop just by it but any taxi driver will know.
Every weekday evening from about six o'clock, there are cheap lessons for all abilities, you can just turn up and try your hand/feet.There will always be people more rubbish than you. If you stick it out for a few lessons, ladies, you will eventually be allowed to do the kick which, when done well, is a very sexy move that makes you feel like a proper dancer. If done badly, it leaves your partner with limited chances of fathering a child.
