One of the city's biggest attractions is La Cancha, the city market on the south side of town and the largest open-air market in South America. Clothing, food, souvenirs, or books, the Cancha has it all. The market district spills out along Av. San Martin, which runs north from the Cancha to the center. The best day to visit the market is on saturday, on other days not all the shops are open. Pickpocketing in this area is fairly common.
