Mercado Número 2 Barranco

This guide to Mercado Numero 2 Barranco in Lima follows the plain adobe market traders built here around 2005, and the glossy architectural plans for a glass elevator and rooftop auditorium that were pitched to the municipality but never built. It traces what city inspectors found wrong with the market's roof and wiring in September 2017, and how long the vendors had already known before the district finally acted. Look up at the tin roof overhead, patched rather than replaced.
