Nestled between Arizona’s capitol and the city of Tempe, at the base of South Mountain, lays the town of Guadalupe. A Native American and Hispanic community, the town boasts a strong cultural and ethnic identity, with a history dating back to 1907.

While in Guadalupe, stop and meander around El Tianguis Mercado. This courtyard-style shopping center is filled with unique shops and restaurants. Shoppers can purchase a variety of items from authentic Mexican pottery, Yaqui Indian art, leather boots, saddles, made-to-order piñatas and much more.

On weekends, the market is a vibrant place to visit, filled with visitors and live music.
