Rico and I were both very impressed with how clean the Mercado Municpal was - seriously, you could eat off the floor in that place if you were so inclined and likely not suffer any health consequences.
After the markets, we walked along Av. 25 de Março, famous for its cheap shops selling fabric, shoes, underwear, kitchen items, toys, costume jewelry, "designer" goods and everything else under the sun that can be mass-produced and hawked from a small stall. This is where many of the Angolans and Mozambicans come to stock up on Brasilian clothes to sell in botiques back home.
Here are some photos from our excursion:

I enjoy your photos and reading about your experiences. Looks so much more interesting than my local supermarket.
sorry, don't you mean "paulistas"? i'm confused at the use of paulistano
~Judy in KY - It is a fascinating market, like the best of a deli, an ethnic produce section, and a spice specialty store all in one.
~Anonymous - Actually, I do mean "paulistano".
"Paulista" is the adjective to describe someone from São Paulo state; "Paulistano" is someone from São Paulo city.
Thus, all paulistanos are paulistas, but not all paulistas are paulistanos!
