directory » reuse
Creative reuse, both practical and artistic, is something we love about San Miguel de Allende. A wide variety of second-hand and repurposed items may be found at tianguis (the Tuesday market.) Some second-hand shops in Centro use their profits for worthwhile causes.
If something is no longer useful to you, pass it along — you may be surprised at what someone else can do with it.

Tianguis/Tuesday Market
Blvd. de la Conspiración
Tuesdays
The large open-air Tuesday market offers a little of everything (and a lot of some things.)
Tarps cut from old vinyl banners are usually available. Tianguis is also a good place to
find parts for appliances, both large and small.
