Markets are an integral part of life for the Maya. It is were most food is bought. It is where a family will sell the extra tomatoes they have. It is where women will buy their cortes [traditional skirts], the cooking pots and most other household items. It is one place where friends and neighbors will meet and talk. Many years ago in Santiago Atitlán there used to be a night market lit by candlelight. Although it no longer exists it captured the fancy of a few of the early Tz'utuhil artists. It has been one of the most popular themes with the artists and the tourists ever since.
