About this audio guide
This guide to the Mercado de las Pulgas de San Alejo in Bogotá follows vendors association leader Claudia Torres and the more than three hundred sellers who turn a parking lot beside the Museum of Modern Art into a weekly market of gramophones, typewriters and century-old odds and ends. Not even Torres can say exactly when the ritual began, though the city recognized it as cultural heritage in 2005. Come on a Sunday morning, before the afternoon crowds thicken between the stalls.
