Morelia - Mercado de Dulces

Speaking of sugar, my husband has an issue with some kinds of stinging insects. Not generally honey bees but we tend to be cautious because if he gets stung, it ain't pretty. Tim's article prominently mentions bees.

Should my husband find another activity while I go to the market or do the bees stay focused on the displays?

He'll be fine. You'd really have to try hard to get stung in the mercado de dulces. He'll be wearing long pants and a long sleeve shirt. Put a hat on him and he's good to go! The bees are not interested in the humans, and the vendors do a good job of shooing them away.

Be sure to try the ate (AH tay). It is a specialty there and most of the dulcerías will carry it. It's my favorite traditional dessert. The fruit flavors are the best, especially mango, guava and tamarind. And put a thin slice of cheese on top of a small cube of ate and it is PURE ECSTASY!
