A photo of the noses and mouth of charcoal roasted suckling pigs on sale in Otavalo Market. They call it "Lechon" here. It is a delicacy the best part of the head are the crispy skin, the tongue and the cheek. Did I taste it? I sure did! I was going through the market eating a cheek with the crispy skin. Another photo "lechon" is in the Workshop.
Otavalo is located two hours north of Quito in Ecuador's Andean highlands. About 50,000 people reside in the town from where the famous market took its name. Surrounded by volcanoes, the market place is in a beautiful setting. People from all over the world come to see the famous market, where an abundance of handicrafts can be found. However, unlike other markets, the handicrafts available at Otavalo are not commercialized versions of authentic traditional weaving styles that are found in many other market places. Rather, Otavalenos pride themselves as successful and intelligent business people who have over the years continued to make a livelihood off their craft skills.
