Built in 1910, the Mercado de Santurce has been the center of activity for over a century, vendors doing a roaring trade in fruits and vegetables from around the island. Today is no different but come evening, the neighborhood transforms into one of the hottest nightspots in town, a street party with the market at its heart.
